Osman Yousefzada - Fashion File’s New Name

Born in the UK to Afghani parents, Osman Yousefzada went into banking after graduating from Cambridge in 1997. Two years ago, he left the City to study fashion design at Central Saint Martins. His clothes, which he’ll be showing at London Fashion Week (11 to 16 February) are now worn by Kate Moss and Thandie Newton. He lives in a house in Earls Court, west London.

Osman Yousefzada, ” I grew up in Birmingham and moved to London when I was 18. I never imagined that my career in fashion would take off and expand so far and so quickly as it did. I always thought that maybe I would just have a small shop in Brick Lane selling a few dresses.”

Osman Yousefzada is one London designer who has shown a knack for building his business without an active investor on board. Not only is he consulting for a high profile British luxury chain, he is collaborating with Mango to release a capsule collection of little black dresses which will hit Mango stores worldwide in March, after an exclusive selling period at Selfridges in London. These projects help Osman by injecting cash to finance production and operating costs for the business.
