Runway

Cloth, walk, and light.

A study of African fashion already in motion. These frames are not a roll-call of finalists. They are the standard the house is working toward.

Photographs in this study were made by Ben Iwara, Theresa Ude, John Ekow, Ibrahima Toure, Babarinde Tosin, Barney Goodman, ishakah rumbani, and WyteShot, and are published on Unsplash. They show the world of cloth the house is building toward. They are not portraits of a cast we are claiming as our own.

Your look

The next frame should be yours.

Designers, send the collection. Models, send the portrait.
