The Ouze Unveils Wax-Centric Homeware and Jewelry at London Fashion Week Spring 2027
During the third day of London Fashion Week, The Ouze, established by Toby Vernon, presented its third Newgen showcase at 180 Studios for the spring 2027 collection. The space was transformed into a monochromatic setting in Yves Klein blue, featuring hand-carved wax models intended for casting in precious metals. Found objects coated in wax were arranged on white plinths, highlighting the intricacies of the jewelry-making process. This collection also included homeware items such as sterling-silver corkscrews and vases adorned with raw sapphires, showcasing the marks of craftsmanship. Looking ahead, Vernon aims to design a chair for the upcoming show and collaborate with Joost Pasman on a doctor’s-style bag. The six-person studio is also venturing into gold and platinum for custom pieces and may launch a Saturday shop.
