At just 32 years old, Clio Peppiatt is leaving her glittering mark on contemporary fashion. A designer who takes pride in “reworking traditional skills for a modern audience,” Peppiatt counts Kim Kardashian, Jourdan Dunn, and Blackpink’s Rosé among her influential fans.
Born in Paris, Peppiatt studied in London before starting her career as a print designer at Alexander McQueen. “I remember mending one of Lady Gaga’s jumpsuits from [McQueen]’s last collection,” she recalls. She founded her own label in 2015, specializing in embroidery—a skill that feels part of her “heritage,” she explains. “I learned embroidery from my grandmother, and my great-grandmother was a lace-maker.”
