Meet the Founder

Alvin Ho is the Founder and Creative Director of House of Alvin, the London-based couture house built from myth, memory, and transformation.

The Vision behind the House

Having presented his first collection at eleven, Alvin has long used fashion as a way to turn emotion into spectacle — creating garments that feel less like clothing, and more like characters from worlds half-remembered, half-dreamed.

A lover of Art Nouveau, Rococo romanticism, and the eternal drapery of Grecian sculpture, House of Alvin creates couture in defiance of fashion’s fast-moving trend cycle. The house is devoted to beauty with permanence — timeless silhouettes, sculptural corsetry, and proportions designed to transform the body into something dreamlike, cinematic, and unforgettable. At its heart is an invitation to return to wonder: to the part of ourselves that still believes in fantasy, storybooks, castles, constellations, and impossible beauty. Each piece is made to honour the individual, whether through bespoke bridal or couture commissions, creating once-in-a-lifetime garments that allow the wearer to feel not only dressed, but entirely reimagined.

Following its 2025 relaunch with Antoinette 1999, House of Alvin has grown from an emerging independent label into an internationally recognised couture world, building a community of over 280,000 followers in just one year. The house’s work has been seen by millions online and has drawn the attention of leading stylists, performers, and fashion audiences across red carpet, bridal, editorial, and celebrity dressing. Its pieces have appeared across major cultural moments including the 2025 British Fashion Awards, Wicked For Good and Wuthering Heights London Premieres and have been recognised in publications including Tatler, ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar, Grazia, and further international fashion press.

Alongside his creative practice, Alvin holds a First-Class Honours degree in Business and Management from King’s College London and received a Distinction in MSc Entrepreneurship from UCL.
