Steve O Smith, a Rhode Island School of Design graduate, already counts Anne-Marie, Jorja Smith and Munroe Bergdoff as fans.

The emerging London-based designer uses inspiration from pop culture and history, with pieces influenced by Empress Matilda, Marilyn Monroe and the unconventional muse of The Hills star, Heidi Montag. For his LFW a/w 17 presentation, Steve took on Brexit, using protestant propaganda from the 16th Century Reformation as his inspiration and continues to allude to British politics in many of his creations. The 25 year old’s ‘kitsch’ designs were last seen on the LFW s/s 2019 catwalk.
