'This London Fashion Week, young creatives are raising their voices to call for a more equal, more just, more sustainable future for the fashion industry. Visit www.fad.org.uk for the full gallery, presenting fashion, textiles, photography, poetry, film and dance by 24 creatives aged 16-30, focusing on authentic aesthetics, issues, histories and futures which have long been ignored or appropriated by mainstream fashion. Themes include the legacy of Windrush, migration, colonialism and colourism, as well as celebrations of Afro hair and Black and South Asian aesthetics and affirmations of community, roots and culture – as well as demands for respect and genuine inclusivity. The gallery was launched on the Fashion Scout schedule by a panel featuring ASOS Design Director Vanessa Spence, model and presenter Annaliese Dayes (both FAD patrons) as well as FAD graduates Marta Attang (Designer, Fila Blackline and Founder, Dispari) Ola Olayinka (Textile Designer & Educator), Sharifah Grant (Creative Responsibilty Assistant, Penguin & Founder of Oshun’s Vanity), Melissa Absalud Allada (Garment Techologist, Nicce), Cleopatra Thompson (fashion student & artist), and Danielle Tunstall (Assistant Buyer, River Island and FAD Project Manager).
