Oli, founder of Oliver Spencer, draws inspiration from hunting and the military. He adapts bits of Americana and ideas from Japan in to his cool, English aesthetic. He admires S andy Powell, costume designer for the Martin Scorsese movies Gangs of New York and The Avia tor, as much as any fashion designer. Oliver Spencer has grown up in its nine years, a dopted by the world’s best shops. Oli took a st andalone New York shop for Oliver Spencer in 2006, in partnership with top U.S. retailer Odin. In 2008, he opened the doors of a second shop, in Lon don, and introduced his womenswear collection. In 2010 a third shop was opened in Toron to and the latest venture has been in to shoes. A st andalone shoe shop was opened on Lambs Conduit Street in Lon don in spring 2011. A second shop in Soho Lon don is planned for late this year…
