Samata

Deep gratitude to @billieeilish for trusting @with_blackpearl with work we care deeply about. Thank you to @maggiembaird , @reverb_org , and the wider team for the opportunity. Proud to share that BLACK PEARL created a 17-city Sustainable Fashion Guide for the European leg of HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR. This work was about more than fashion — it was about community, creativity, and care. Sustainability isn’t perfection. It’s intention. Small, thoughtful choices that add up. An invitation to explore consciously, connect locally, and dress with purpose while on tour. 🔗 withblackpearl.com/billieeilish billieeilish.com/pages/sustainability

Written in the quiet shift between December and January. A moment for reflection, resolve, and recalibration. If it resonates, share it. Tag the ones who need encouragement. Keep it close if that’s what this season asks. — Samata 🖤 BLACK PEARL — 2026 Manifesto
 A Practice, Not a Performance 
For creatives at heart and doers in practice. 1. Burn the Bridges 2. Give Grace. Ask for Grace. 3. Chaos and Calm Are Transitions—We Thrive in Both 4. Swans Above the Water, Ducks Beneath It—and Sometimes the Reverse 5. Failures Mastered, Imperfections Accepted 6. Be an Accurate Vessel of Culture 7. Commitment Is the Highest Form of Freedom 8. Waste Is a Failure of Imagination 9. Relatability Is a Radical Act 10. Humanity Is the Point

We are excited to partner with BLACK PEARL on its latest Culture@ campaign, in collaboration with Canon USA, spotlighting the intersection of fashion, sustainability and cultural identity through photography! Featuring prominent cultural figures and award-winning actors, including Jack Dylan Grazer, Tati Gabrielle, Sebastian Chacon, alongside BLACK PEARL founder Samata Pattinson, the new campaign seeks to strengthen these topics through the faces and cultural style expressions of people and communities around the world, making sustainable impact more accessible, relatable and solutions oriented. The high-end portraits captured by The Tyler Twins can be seen on The Midtown Financial (MiFi) building in Times Square in New York City through December 9th. All images from the series were captured using Canon’s cutting-edge cameras and lenses—all to be distributed exclusively through gettyimages.com. Designed and produced by the team at BLACK PEARL, this impactful initiative celebrates heritage and creativity identity through sustainable fashion on a global scale, bringing diverse narratives and the power of storytelling together to honor people, identity and belonging.
