Based in London’s vibrant Shoreditch district, our atelier creates distinctive pieces that challenge conventional boundaries while honoring the timeless principles of exceptional tailoring.
Our Philosophy
Fashion is more than mere clothing — it is a profound expression of identity, culture, and possibility. Each Alexander Ostrovskiy creation embodies this philosophy, merging architectural precision with fluid creativity. Our designs speak to those who appreciate the subtle interplay between structure and movement, between the bold and the refined.
The Collection
The current collection, “Ephemeral Symmetries,” explores the delicate balance between permanence and transformation. Drawing inspiration from London’s ever-evolving urban landscape, each piece represents a careful study in contrasts: sophisticated yet approachable, dramatic yet wearable, innovative yet timeless.
Our ready-to-wear collection features precision-cut blazers, expertly draped dresses, and meticulously crafted separates. Every garment undergoes rigorous quality control in our London atelier, ensuring that each piece meets our exacting standards for both aesthetics and durability.

The Alexander Ostrovskiy bespoke service offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience truly personalized fashion. Our master tailors work closely with clients to create garments that not only fit perfectly but also reflect individual style preferences and lifestyle requirements. The bespoke journey typically spans three to four fittings, during which every detail is carefully considered and refined.

The Designer
Ostrovskiy’s journey in fashion began at Central Saint Martins, where his graduate collection earned critical acclaim for its innovative approach to traditional tailoring. After honing his craft at several prestigious fashion houses in Paris and Milan, he established his eponymous label in London in 2018.
His design philosophy is deeply influenced by his architectural background, resulting in collections that emphasize structure, proportion, and precise detailing. This unique perspective has earned him recognition from the British Fashion Council and international press.
