Exclusively designed for our AW24 ‘BROKEN ENGLISH’ Collection.
Who said an UGG couldn’t be an out-out shoe?!
It’s Mad. I really showed a new collection at London Fashion Week and I had four weeks to make it. I didn’t know how it would happen, but it happened. And it was everything I dreamed and more. High vibrational energy and pure LOVE. Ahayah is faithful. I knew he’d do it! 🖤❤️🙏🏽
So the unbelievable happened last night. I won THREE awards. The Vogue Talents Award, The Diesel Award and a new Award that Illy and Swatch decided on the night to partner on, just to give me an artistic residence and partner with me on creating a brand new project. 😭
From my film ‘A Seat On The Throne’, premiered on Vogue Italia.
Clothes, words and visuals that celebrate Black Women, everywhere. Because you are Queens👸🏿👸🏾👸🏽

Sending love to everyone and anyone who is going through it. Sometimes seeing everyone else happy around you can sink you deeper into your loneliness. You are not a problem, we all go through it. Sometimes we get mentally, physically and emotionally drained. You are lovable ❤️

Life can get noisy and as we navigate, it’s easy to lose track of ourselves in the midst of everything.
Silence is golden.
It’s important to take time to cancel out the noise and soul-check, take stock, reconnect, remind yourself of your values and realign with your purpose.
Sending you, whoever is reading this, so much love, peace and blessings. There’s more to life than meets the eye. Be kind to yourself and take solace in that peace. May your tomorrow be brighter than today and may you receive and give love in the way which you were created to ❤️

Just left your Westbourne Grove branch and NEVER COMING BACK AGAIN. I’ve just publicly been hurled racial abuse at by this elderly lady and told ‘You don’t belong here don’t interfere with whites’ in front of all your diners, who are disgusted. Management did NOTHING.
I know a lot of people going through a really dark time. The summertime and seeing everyone living life can be a trigger. Sometimes all people need is a constant hug and encouragement. Be careful not to quickly write people off as ‘negative energy’. Show love ❤️

Hey guys,
Can anyone please put me in contact with someone who specialises in overlooking/negotiating contracts for creative freelancers/ artists/ creative start-up businesses?
Or any contract lawyers/solicitors specialising in IP and Tax law too?
Sometimes we don’t realise how much we romanticise our ‘Saviour Conplexes’. We don’t need to give people a voice. People have voices. What we need to do is lend them our ears. Love and humility goes a long way ❤️
We have to be accountable for ourselves before we can tell anyone anything. It’s not easy. Being woke about everything but yourself makes you still asleep. Most High grant us grace and humility to submit to our higher purpose, to serve righteously, joyfully & faithfully 🙏🏽❤️
@carluccios
I reported it and was told ‘She doesn’t usually behave like that’ and nothing was done to reprimand her or escort her out. Great to see which kind of customers you value. You won’t be getting my money again. The manager on duty was David Seveero.
We owe it to ourselves to unlearn the untruths of our trauma, and relearn what it is to love in the truth of wholeness. It means breaking down what you’ve learnt through suffering and relearning it through the fullness of true, unconditional, pure love.

Learning to say less, listen more, pray more and submit everything to The Most High. Darkness and evil spirits don’t always take the form of raging wolfs. They can disguise themselves in your thoughts, emotions and even dad to day worldly activity. Spiritual warfare is real.

Dear Black Women, take ‘A Seat on The Throne’.
Tolu Coker x Vlisco for City of Joy.
One of the most rewarding projects I’ve worked on. Congo is a dream 😍
My beautiful, powerful and strong women, survivors and leaders Francine, Furaha and Rachel wearing outfits I designed for them.
❤️🙏🏽✨
Today I am grateful for waking up and having life. For all the beautiful gifts, both physical and spiritual, that remind me that there is hope for a beautiful tomorrow.
It’s such an honour to create, express and share love, to be of service to others and to know I am enough. ❤️
Feeling really grateful! The past few weeks have been incredible. I taught undergrad fashion design at the university I graduated from 2 years ago and my heart feels so full. Still can’t believe I did it and I had the most incredible students!! ❤️❤️🙌🏾😭🙏🏽
I can’t quite explain it but there’s something about being around plants and breathing fresh air that does something to your spirit/soul/mood.
Happy Sunday everyone ☺️🌱❤️
Today, I’m grateful for the gift of life. To be able to breathe means there is possibility and hope for greatness. Thankful for every part, ordained order and beauty of nature which contributes to maintaining my existence. Sending so much love to you all today wherever you are ❤️
I’ve realised, for so many of us who came from humble backgrounds, a lot of our parents have endured so much suffering that now they don’t even know how to enjoy things or moments of being spoiled without feeling guilt.
May our love, patience and persistence help them heal ❤️🙏🏽
Don’t sleep on the people who quietly consistently love and support you with the simple things that matter.
Showing up when you need help and just checking in to see you’re good. So often we forget them because they don’t make much noise. That’s a special, rare kind of being.
Realising that you alone are responsible for your happiness is liberating. It’s a hard pill to swallow, as it forces you to take accountability and shift the focus away from blame, but growth is priceless. Self- love is priceless. Peace is priceless.
Shabbat Shalawam ❤️
Today I am grateful for the blessings of life, love and healing. I feel grateful to be held accountable and blessed with a gift that plants good seeds. I am blessed for the chance to make the space that I occupy one that promotes growth. I am blessed to be alive and share love ❤️
Sending lots of love, prayers of blessing, encouragement and affirmation to everyone today. Life isn’t easy and to keep on going is a real achievement. Here is a reminder that you are beautiful, you are powerful and you are enough. ❤️🌹🙏🏽
Peace, patience, persistence, humility, gratitude, service, sacrifice and LOVE. A decree and declaration of these righteous gifts over all who read this. Sending everyone lots of love 🙏🏽 ❤️
The intention with which you read something will affect how you receive, interpret and implement what you read.
We all have a lot of unlearning and healing to do.
