Revival London

I’m Rosette, the founder and designer behind Revival London - a slow fashion brand reimagining textile waste through upcycling, craftsmanship, and self-expression. I started Revival over 5 years ago while I was still in school, initially reselling and reworking vintage clothing because I loved fashion but wanted to consume more consciously. Everything changed when I learned how to sew and upcycle during my fashion foundation course. I realised discarded clothing could become something completely new, exciting, and personal, and I became obsessed with the creative possibilities of transformation.What I’m most passionate about is making sustainability feel expressive, desirable, and accessible rather than restrictive or intimidating. My work blends fashion, storytelling, and education, encouraging people to see value in what already exists and reconnect with their creativity through making. My British-Nigerian and Ghanaian heritage also deeply influences my approach to colour, texture, craftsmanship, and the sense of individuality woven through my designs.I love teaching because workshops create real connection. There’s something powerful about watching someone go from “I’m not creative” or “I can’t sew” to proudly leaving with something they made themselves. Teaching allows me to share practical skills while also helping people build confidence, slow down, and rethink their relationship with clothing and consumption.Over the years, I’ve facilitated workshops for hundreds of participants across London in partnership with organisations including TikTok, TRAID, Fashion Revolution, Tate Britain, and Saatchi Gallery. I’ve also appeared on Loose Women and Katie Piper's Breakfast Show demonstrating upcycling techniques and speaking about sustainable fashion.Some people are surprised to learn that many of my designs start with garments people would normally throw away - old denim, damaged clothing, textile scraps - which I transform into one-of-one statement pieces. For me, that’s the magic of upcycling: seeing possibility where others see waste.
