when I reflect on this shoot, I can’t help but look past how cool the shoot was, and realise, that by bringing together this team of young, independent, poc creatives, from underrepresented areas and backgrounds, I created the representation I never even realised I needed in my own life,
it’s hard to know what’s possible when you don’t see yourself in the places you want to be, so if you take anything away from this shoot, know our walks of life look similar to yours,
we came together to create, delivering in our own lanes with the right intentions, creating an environment where we all felt welcomed, and able to fully express ourselves creatively,
fashion does not have to be stressful.
again, thank you to the team, this was my first hand at creative direction, and it couldn’t have gone any better, you were all amazing

I’ll be letting go of the trousers that I made for the shoot some time soon to help fund future projects
