Fashion career profile
Steve O Smith
Steve O Smith is a British designer based in London and Founder and Creative Director of his namesake label. He developed his practice during an MA at Central Saint Martins, where he focused on the meeting point between drawing and garment construction. Smith uses appliqué and precise pattern cutting to turn drawn lines into wearable forms, approaching each garment as a drawing with its own movement and structure. His independent label works on a made-to-order basis. Smith received the Karl Lagerfeld Prize at the 2025 LVMH Prize. The directory treats that recognition as a dated career achievement and distinguishes the designer-led label from the LVMH Prize programme, retailers or collaborators. It records the confirmed founder role without expanding it into unsupported executive or business claims.
