Full circle gush alert 🚨 I met @nicholas_daley almost 10 years ago whilst wondering around CSM for a fine art performance @foxymoron87 was doing. He spotted my locks a mile off and accosted me In the hallway, politely asking if I’d be interested in modelling for his show. He explained his degree show was a fusion of Afro Caribbean culture and British Design - despite being a little shy / nervous about it I thought ‘ why the hell not!’ and elected to help a brother out. I had a lot of time on my hands back then , I’d just started working at boiler room and the label was but a glimmer in my eye ... Fast forward to 2022 and Nicholas asked me to get involved in a campaign again - this time in @britishvogue 😱 Difference is - now he has a reputation as one of the most exciting designers and cultural instigators working out of London today. I’ve witnessed him put the work In over the last decade and he deserves it all. We’ve both come a long way since this second slide - and prepping this post really puts it into perspective. This collection - and Nicholas’ work in general - is a big reason why London is such an exciting place to be - cross cultural exchange and inter disciplinary collaboration are at the core of what he does - and allow us to have a rich, diverse scene in which we can lift each other up and inspire a collective momentum. Long story short - really proud to be involved in this project with a cross section of other movers and shakers from my adopted city. 🕶️ Was also an honour for @subsun.uk to be the official eyewear for the shoot. Watch out for that @subsun.uk x @nicholas_daley collab dropping soon ;) Check the full looks and read the article via the link in the bio 👆🏽 From degree show 2013 to S/S 2023 - here’s to the next 10 years !!
