Olly Shinder is a London menswear label founded in 2022 by its namesake designer immediately after he graduated from Central Saint Martins' BA programme. It reworks uniform archetypes — workwear, military kit, emergency services and sportswear — through a queer lens, combining technical fabrics, lingerie-level textiles, watertight zips and exposed hardware into what Shinder terms "luxury utility." The brand has been part of Dover Street Market Paris's Brand Development incubator since its first season and showed with Fashion East from SS24. Stockists include SSENSE, Machine-A, Très Bien, H.Lorenzo and Dover Street Market globally.
