Ossie Clark to cease trading

Ossie Clark is to close its fashionable doors. The label was relaunched last year with financing from Marc and Julian Worth however trading conditions didn’t meet expectations.

A spokesperson told WWD, “Due to market conditions, developing the business has been challenging and the decision has been made to cease trading.” The label was iconic in the sixties and seventies and re-debuted at London Fashion Week in February of last year. Its latest head designer, Avsh Alom Gur, whose work for the house received mixed reviews, left Clark in March to focus on his signature line.
