Oliver Spencer, a self-taught tailor, got his start selling vintage menswear from a Portobello Market stall before a roll of deadstock silk led him to make his first pieces (a run of waistcoats) and launch his eponymous label in 2002. He'd previously spent a decade building the formalwear brand Favourbrook, and set out this time to combine that same tailoring quality with a more relaxed, everyday feel. What started as a single shop on Lamb's Conduit Street has grown to five standalone stores and placement in over 151 retailers worldwide, including Selfridges and Liberty.
