Grace Wales Bonner: Lovers Rock

Press

The company recently choreographed for designer Grace Wales Bonner for her show Lovers Rock for AW20 as part of London Fashion Week.

Felix Petty from I-D Magazine writes “Taking London in the 70s as the collection’s starting point, Grace looked into the lovers rock and dub reggae scenes, finding inspiration in the second generation of Caribbean immigrants to the UK who created their own communities and party scenes on the fringes of mainstream white society. The set was made up to resemble one of those underground parties, brown formica tables circling a dancefloor, a soundsystem you can feel in your chest, towering over everything (from this giant speaker stack came a new piece of music composed by Jamie xx, “Dancewme” , which also paid tribute to the sonically pioneering music that came out of this era).”
