“I was always classified as a ‘black designer,’ so I had to struggle to work against that. I was into punk, I made clothes for The Clash,” said designer Joe Casely-Hayford. His designs juxtapose refined British tailoring with a punk attitude. This tension is represented here in a tailored all-in-one vest, jacket, and coat – paired with an unconventional muslin horsehair skirt.
