About OMNES:

OMNES is a modern, sustainable, and cost-conscious women’s fashion brand, designing ethically crafted clothing. OMNES means ‘all,’ a reflection of the fact that we all need to work together to change the way we shop, wear, and think about fashion. We focus on timeless designs with playful pops of print and color, and a considered approach to how our pieces fit bodies of all shapes and sizes. Founded in London in 2021 by Jordan Razavi, OMNES addresses the gap in access to sustainable wardrobe choices caused by ‘green premiums’.

The fashion industry is one of the world’s most prolific polluters, with millions of tonnes of textiles ending up in landfill every year, and global supply chain workers being underpaid and exploited. OMNES strives to act as a responsible global citizen, treating the Earth with respect and aiming to contribute to its repair. By improving the ways fashion operates, we believe we can make a truly positive difference to the future of our planet and global community.
