SASKIA LENAERTS is a London-based fashion designer and researcher whose practice transforms garments shaped by conflict into items of care, meaning, and cultural agency, developing collections that repurpose military and surplus uniforms through collaborative making. Through her studio SASKIA.world and social enterprise RAPPROCHEMENT, she reimagines fashion as a system of connection — where sustainability is transnational, beauty is political, and design becomes a vehicle for ethical repair. Her work positions craft and luxury as tools for resistance and renewed human value.

Awards and Showcases: Fantastic Toiles, Makers with a Mission Residency, Makerversity Somerset House, RE-Selfridges Discovery Lab, London Fashion Week, Birkenstock Collaboration, The Big Design Award – Tokyo, Lisbon Fashion Weeks, L’Oreal Professional Scholarship, The Considered Design Award by Johnston of Elgin.

Yumo Yuan will share his YUMO TUBU project, with select pieces from the project available to purchase at the market.

Based in London, Yumo is a weaver, textile artist, fashion designer, and antique textile collector from Northeast China. Having graduated from Central Saint Martins with a degree in Textile Design in 2023, he recently returned to CSM and is now completing his MA in Fashion Design there. His work draws deep inspiration from Chinese cultural heritage and antique folk textiles, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary textile practice.
