For @thombrowne “Photography has made me into a more present person because it makes me focused on what’s in front of me; I love the sky, the trees, the cracks in the street or the side of the building. I'm always shooting because there's always more to capture,” says Arielle Bobb-Willis. For our collaboration with Nataal, Thom Browne (@thombrowne) and FARFETCH (@farfetch), the artist headed to the east coast to embrace Brooklyn’s skateboarding community with model Symone Lu and her skater friends, wearing Thom Browne's AW21 unisex collection. “The shoot really encapsulates what I love about New York - good parks, good people and community,'' she says. . This is one chapter of three in this project also featuring Ismail Zaidy in Marrakech and Djeneba Aduayom in LA. Discover the full story celebrating community through a diverse lens on Nataal.
