Black Sherif walks runway at London Fashion Week
Black Sherif is exploring his many interests and talents outside the world of music.
The 'January 9th' crooner shocked fans over the weekend by revealing his passion in design. Black Sherif represented Labrum London on the runway during London Fashion Week in 2024.
In order to close the cultural divide between West African and Western people, the British African heritage brand is committed to sharing the little-known tales of West Africa.
The winner of the 2017 Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design is the designer Foday Dumbuya.
"Dumbuya's oft-repeated mantra of "British tailoring; West African flair" found new focus for fall in a show about borders," Vogue stated in their assessment of the show and its components. He remarked, "My stories all follow the same pattern in terms of migration and craftsmanship, but today we felt it was time to appreciate immigrants and what they bring to society and culture.
"In the first of a two-part series titled “Designed by an Immigrant,” Dumbuya looked at the clothes people wear to migrate, from the vessels containing bundles of clothing they balance on their heads to the caftans and capes they wrap around their bodies for protection.
"The British milliner Lucy Barlow had created custom hats woven from raffia to symbolize the pots, while dandyish men sported suitcases covered in the same exuberantly patterned fabrics as their two-piece suits. It was a visually arresting trick. But the suitcases acquired deeper significance for Brits in the audience at a time when a controversial government relocation treaty to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda is dominating the news cycle."
Also, Foday Dumbuya, who is the CEO of Labrum London, revealed the Shine Collection, which Blacko unveiled sheds light on the African journey from struggle to triumph, acknowledging those that never lose sight of their vision or end-goal.
The London Fashion Week which started from Friday, February 16 spans to Tuesday, February 20.
