Black ★ Star: styled, creative directed, and produced by me. An editorial that reimagines Pan-Africanism through a high fashion lens, merging heritage, contemporary styles and Afro-futurism. I wanted to celebrate the fashion, beauty, and culture of African and Caribbean heritage in honour of Black History Month. With emphasis on hair, fabrics, and texture, it presents Blackness in a non-conformative way, which showcases power, individuality and the richness of heritage beyond stereotypes. Influenced from my Ghanaian and Dominican background, I wanted this series to represent the African diaspora through a lens of how we see ourselves; with power, pride, innovation and beauty.
