Olli Hull x Unsold. Retold.
Olli Hull is a London-based artist and fashion designer creating wearable art from second-hand, discarded and existing materials. Treating clothing as a canvas, their work explores identity, queerness, transformation and our relationship with the natural world. Olli made their London Fashion Week debut with a collection of upcycled wearable artwork and has since collaborated with H&M, Ecover, Underground Shoes and Omoda.
For Unsold. Retold., existing floral and earthy prints guided each garment’s transformation through hand embroidery, painting and reconstruction into a collection that feels like a grunge fairytale.
