Recalibrating with @marques_almeida launching reM’Ade using deadstock fabrics Reasserting their will to not add waste @raeburn_design speaking to @dylanjonesgq Recontextualising their archives as per @studiomatthewmiller and his post apocalyptic “new normal” Renegotiating their way into a fashion system @louisegray__ , after being disillusioned by it, through her signature scribbled and spoken word - Clothes barely figure into these mediations as photography or performance instead are centre stage - I’m especially impressed with the launch of @ahluwalia_studio ‘s beautiful Jalebi series with @laurenceellis documenting Southall’s Punjabi community I also enjoyed hearing about @biancasaunders_ ‘ collaborative zine We Are One of the Same about invisible bonds - When elaborate shoots weren’t possible some went lo-fi like Chinese menswear duo @_pronounce and their charming flip book recounting the folk tales of Prince NeZha or @xanderzhou ‘s neo future AI voiced showcase - And in lieu of the thronging afterparty, we had streamed live performances by @_charlesjeffrey and his Solasta line-up of POC artists like @jasonsclosetofficial to raise funds for @ukblackpride - The designer and clothes take a backseat to make way instead for values and culture - what is permanent in a designer’s vision as opposed to the transient. Can we ever go back to the way things were? Probably not. And that’s probably for the best - Go to last slide to hear @jamesmassiah UPLIFT spirits - summer is not dead guys ❤️❤️❤️」6月15日 17時51分
