Founder and Designer, Yvonne Lim

 

“Future Classics for the Modern Romantic.”

THE ARRAY is a a luxury slow-fashion womenswear label, with every piece designed and crafted locally in London within a 30-minute radius.

The vision of designer Yvonne Lim, THE ARRAY began as a deeply personal exploration at the Royal College of Art, where her MA collection in Fashion Womenswear examined the interplay of modernity, power, and femininity. The collection was brought to life by women Yvonne met at the RCA—not models, but muses—each embodying the quiet strength and effortless elegance that would come to define the brand.

Immediately after graduation, Yvonne was accepted into InnovationRCA’s prestigious accelerator program, where she began to evolve her collection into a fully realized label. Rooted in dialogue and shaped by insight, THE ARRAY’s debut collection was informed by intimate interviews with women about the subtle authority of clothing and the ways design can elevate both function and feeling.

Yvonne draws inspiration from pioneering women designers such as Madeleine Vionnet and Claire McCardell - visionaries who seamlessly combined elegance with practicality. Her work reintroduces distinctly feminine elements into modern tailoring without compromising ease or empowerment. Through bias cut draping, fluid construction, and meticulous dressmaking finishes, she creates garments that balance modernity with romance, offering timeless pieces designed to be cherished.
