Founded in 2021 by Central Saint Martins graduate Antonio Vattev, a.v. vattev is a London-based label exploring the intersection of culture, memory and contemporary masculinity. Following formative roles at Saint Laurent, Lanvin and Wales Bonner, Antonio established the brand as a platform for storytelling through clothing. He was later selected as an Artist-in-Residence at SARABANDE: The Lee Alexander McQueen Foundation (2023–2024).

Drawing inspiration from the visual culture of the 1970s and 1990s, spanning music, cinema and art a.v. transforms cultural references into a distinctly modern wardrobe. Each collection balances nostalgia with reinvention, combining precise tailoring, sculptural knitwear and elevated everyday silhouettes with unexpected details.

Craftsmanship and responsible production remain central to the brand's philosophy, with collections produced in limited quantities using carefully selected materials and considered manufacturing.

Since its launch, a.v. vattev has been worn by a growing international community including Dua Lipa, Charli xcx, Troye Sivan, Tom Holland, Barry Keoghan, Bad Bunny, Louis Tomlinson, Paul Mescal, Joe Alwyn, Jamie Dornan, Sam Fender, Kit Connor, as well as members of Stray Kids, ENHYPEN and NCT.

More than a clothing label, a.v. vattev is an evolving cultural universe where fashion, film, music exist in dialogue, building a community united by individuality, curiosity and self-expression.
