This menswear collection is a protest against racial profiling, paying tribute to my heritage of the Windrush Generation. Representing inclusion and ethnic diversity, creating clothing that hopes to empower and protect men defending themselves in protest but also in everyday life.

Personally, the work I create innately stems from individual experience and the need to tell a story, that raises awareness. I cannot see myself being a part of something which does not stand up for diversity, equality and liberty. So, at the very least, to do myself, family and culture proud: this collection will express an individual's right to belong, to feel safe and be comfortable in clothing which they feel represents them. This collection focuses heavily on textile manipulation, specialising in screen print, innovating expressive, bolding graphic and colourful imagery.
