A room full of young kings, growing confidence and glowing crowns. 🤎✨

Our Boys’ Glowing Crowns Club was more than just hair. It was about identity, confidence, learning and creating a space for boys to connect and celebrate who they are.

A huge thank you to @Cantu @dr.eve.skin @tressly.studios and everyone who made this day possible!

More than a club, we’re building a community. 👑🤎

BLACK HAIR IS ART: A SHORT STORY

My London Fashion Week looks drew on a number of inspirations I wish to share with you. 

My Fashion Culture History platform. My weekly episodes explore Black culture’s impact on style, power and identity. I have explored and researched topics such as braids, bamboo earrings, nails … aspects of Black beauty that were condemned by traditional institutions and European beauty standards as ‘ghetto’ ‘loud’ ‘vulgar’ … to name a few. I wanted to bring these styles into high fashion as a mic drop moment. 

@kayratheodore was my hair inspiration. I have a lot of her images saved on my Pinterest board for its beauty and originality. I never thought I would ever be bold enough to even attempt to replicate any of her looks. I said to myself, for LFW my hair needs to LEAD the look, not FINISH the look. Not an ounce of hair styling experience, sis got some braiding hair and wire, and we tried a ting. Go big or go home, so glad I did. 

I’m seeing the resurgence of hair shows and it really fascinates me. I’m obsessed with the ways in which the culture creates spectacle so unapologetically, in everything we do. I even saw @cecred perform a hair show for their UK launch last week. Coincidentally it was on the same evening I wore this white look, and received so many DMs asking if I was at their event. The long braids, the silver durag, the performance, I would’ve lapped it up. 

My next episode for @fashionculturehistory is about Black hair shows, which I will drop later today. I have tagged a number of key people in this post who either currently contribute to Black culture’s impact and innovation, or need to sit up and see our impact in the fashion and beauty space. I’m a Black woman, but I’m also a Black British woman, and love to see visual representations like this, even when I create it myself. 

LFW for me was not about looking pretty, there was a visual story to tell, and I hope I did it justice 🤍🤍🤍

P.S. Thanks to the photographers who did their ish.

Thank you to everyone who came to learn, celebrate and express themselves at our Design Essentials 'Express Yourself' event, celebrating the launch of our Agave & Lavender and Almond & Avocado Collections now available in @bootsuk .

Our guests were just as excited as we are on this milestone of being available nationwide in store and online, and the engagement in sharing our legacy, brand & ingredient stories, coupled with personalised consultations for creating their own hair stories, kept the interaction flowing throughout.

From Affirmation & Photo walls to Colour Analysis by @colourconviction, these made for a very personal space for expression of hair & self. 

You can find both ranges at boots.com, or pop in store to pick up the Agave & Lavender System, all now on a Save 1/3 Offer until October 20th! 💚💜
