Child's Play

The runway was alive and well, but the power of Berlin does not lie in its organisation. Here, fashion doesn’t play by the rules. It mutates, resists, reclaims. And it never asks for permission.

On Friday, 11 July, a one-of-a-kind party took over Colour Factory in Hackney Wick, hosted by Mowalola. Under the bold and provocative theme ‘Blood Diamonds,’ the stage was filled with performances by Mowalola herself, Deto Black, and a variety of other artists.

Glass of pink paloma in hand, hum of a fan, the scent of sunscreen and chlorine - another summer etched into memory. Here’s to rosy lips, sun flushed cheeks, and evenings spent cooling down the golden sun that lingers long after sunset. Because underneath it all, it’s the beauty surrounds us, that carries the season.
