“ They meld creativity with their passion for doing the right thing for the planet “ New York Times

We are award winning, multi media, designers and consultants who work internationally. Our work flows across many genres with sustainability at the core. Focusing on sustainable approaches to business, design and textiles through eco innovations and social impacts makes VIN + OMI the leading pioneering eco design brand today. We call ourselves Ideologists

We are previous recipients of a NESTA award for our innovation in design, research and our unique business model.  We work towards pioneering new processes and programmes that we introduce into our work. We were one of the first companies to use a detailed carbon offset programme, which we still use today.

A large part of our work is focussed on social impact projects, eco innovation, environmental impact and R & D. This work ties in to our textile and product development work and underpins our consultancy work.

Campaigns often run alongside our work. VIN + OMI developed the Stop Fucking The Planet campaign with Blondie’s Debbie Harry. We respond instinctively to political and global situations introducing the right messages and work.

“ I think their work has a great purpose and a great focus on the future “ - Debbie Harry 

Our design works alongside our eco and sustainable work. We produce the largest fashion shows globally that are focussed solely on our eco and sustainable processes and textiles. We offset the show’s carbon footprint in many ways including working with the host venue to improve their sustainability credentials. We incorporate our ethos into our contemporary product and interior design work on international projects.

We have expended our work into documentaries and feature films. With the 2024 launch of Kepler 62f a sci-fi film with a cast of 116 actors shot mainly during lockdown via Zoom .

Our consultancy work spans a wide range of business and industries. We work closely with companies to help them operate in a more sustainable way. We have a long standing relationship with many companies, including Daler Rowney where we are their Global Ambassadors .

Since 2004 VIN + OMI have developed  32 unique to market textiles focussing on the best way, the right way, based on sustainable, eco-processes.  Our textiles include unique rPET and hybrids that are made via our ocean and river waste plastic collection schemes that are in operation in the most needed parts of the world. We also have a strong focus on textiles and products made from UK waste plant sources including our world first Butterbur dress made from the plant growing at King Charles’s Sandringham, This marked 5 years of collaborating with the King. Other ground breaking ‘firsts’ are our development of nettle fabrics, chestnut leather and hybrids of mushroom and seaweed, all have featured in our shows during London Fashion Week . Our textile/fashion work sits in the permanent collections of museums worldwide including London’s V & A museum.

Our social impact and environmental work includes operation of our global waste plastic clean up schemes. These benefit the local communities that work with us to turn the plastic into textile or products and work towards a cleaner environment.

We also support research and education programmes that ally with our manifesto.
