One of the oldest forms of textile patterning, the Japanese dying technique Kasuri, also known as Ikat (Indonesian for ‘to bind’ or ‘tie’)), is a resist dyeing method, the yarn is bound in bundles before applying dye, preventing colour running into certain areas and once woven into cloth, results in a recognisable ikat pattern. The collection is made up of a camp collar summer shirt, pullover smock, asym collar shirt and asym track shorts.

Tweet“I often think about what white fun looks like, and this notion that Black people can’t have the same. Growing up with Tumblr, I would often come across images of sensual, young, attractive white models running around being free and having so much fun—the kind of stuff Larry Clark and Ryan McGinley would make. I seldom saw that freedom for Black people in images—or at least in the photography I knew. My work responds to this lack. I feel an urgency to visualize Black people as free, expressive, effortless, and sensitive.
I aim to visualize what a Black utopia looks like or could look like. People say utopia is never achievable, but I love the possibility that photography brings. It allows me to dream and make that dream become very real.
In my work, I use the tools of documentary reportage, portraiture, fashion photography, art photography, and filmmaking. I view fashion as a space where clothes can enhance my message about the Black body. I make very little distinction between my commissioned and my personal works, using them both as opportunities to create this utopian universe—whether that’s photographing Beyoncé, Spike Lee, skaters in Cuba, or my very close friends.”
