Before you can become it, you have to see it 🔮

Archetypes give possibility form. They show a young person how a life might look, sound, move, and feel📽️

Black boys deserve this depth of visibility across the full range of life and career. hundreds of distinct archetypes through which they can recognize different parts of themselves and imagine who they might become in the future. 💭 by @rahimchilewa

Rahim Chilewa has spent his summer working at one of the most renowned fashion publications in the world: Vogue.

But his path there did not happen overnight.

In our latest CLRMNT interview, the Tanzanian-American photographer and artist reflects on growing up in a creative household, developing his own visual language, and the journey that eventually brought him into the halls of Vogue, where he even crossed paths with Anna Wintour herself.

Fear and self-doubt has been a very real adversary of mine throughout my journey. But letting it win — letting it decide who I don’t become has always been where i drew the line 🎞️

What do we actually lose when we live inside the what ifs? How many rooms do we never walk into because we’re scared of looking foolish in them? How many opportunities pass us by disguised as “not now” or “not me”?

Embarrassment fades, failure teaches, but the years spent shrinking? Those don’t come back. 🌌 by @rahimchilewa

Fashion is a language, and personal style is a vocabulary you build by pulling from a much larger canon. 📕

Taste, at its core, is a sensual process — an exploration of identity, made physical. Thinking through the politics of image, and how style speaks for a lifestyle, a set of values, a whole way of moving through the world — contributes to a deeper understanding of your own taste. 🎬 by @rahimchilewa

Content supersedes form. What you’re creating- the ideas it’s presenting to the world- matters more than how it looks.

Creativity lives in the collision, letting worlds that were never supposed to touch end up in the same room.
