The Dazed text by Liam Hess introducers readers to five rising creatives — a “new guard of young designers interrogating cultural identity.”

Across the UK, a new guard of designers is drawing on global influences to ask how we can use our pasts – whether cultural heritage, personal histories, or intergenerational trauma and healing – to forge a new path to the future that ricochets between the boundaries of sexuality, gender, race, and nationality.

The young designers featured at Dazed are Cameron Williams, Chloe Nardin, Fidan Novruzova, Gui Rosa, and Roisin Pierce.

'Team Too Much' by Carlijn Jacobs Blasts into Ancestral Future for Dazed Magazine Winter 2021

'Team Too Much' by Carlijn Jacobs Blasts into Ancestral Future for Dazed Magazine Winter 2021 AOC Fashion

If only Anne had been the quiet muse in the room, my spirit hovering up in the corner of the ceiling with no body attached, when photographer Carlijn Jacobs [IG} and Dazed EIC, stylist extraordinaire Ibrahim Kamara conceived ‘Team Too Much’.

It’s not like Carlijn needs a lot of coaxing when it come to visual flights of imagination, but this story is creative DNA on steroids. And in case anyone hasn’t noticed, Ib Kamara’s creative engine transmits a high frequency power supply to others in his orbit. His is not a one-act play, but a serial novel — a Shakespearean mind gone 21st century modern, with deep ancestral African roots.

In three words: creative awe blitzkrieg. Kamara’s got a lot of people living in his head. He’s a spiritual, creative, limitless empath of the highest order. Give him room, people. A lot of room. Let him live in free fall some of the time and see where he lands,

Let his fairy dust fall on the creative minds around him. Carlijn is great on her own, but I can’t help thinking that 1+1=3 here.

‘Team Too Much’ models, actors, players include Abeny Nihal, Babafemi Mustapha,, Dave Cho, Delphi McNicol, Diana Achan, Goy Manese, Grace Sharp, Hugo Fulton, Leo Comanescu, Temitope Ajayi, Tsunaina and Xue Huizi,/ Hair by Kiyoko Odo; makeup by Ammy Drammeh

For her part, Jacobs quips on IG that the lead image invokes “prepping for that new lockdown”. She posted the image yesterday, and sadly, Carlijn is spot on. The new variant is called Omicron. ~ Anne

Carlijn Jacobs Captures 'Island Life' in Barbados for Dazed Magazine Autumn 2021

Carlijn Jacobs Captures 'Island Life' in Barbados for Dazed Magazine Autumn 2021 AOC Fashion

AOC has praised W Magazine’s current Fall 2021 issue, and we must not neglect the Dazed Autumn 2021 issue. Ib Kamara is doing a fantastic job as the new editor in chief. I’ve read that the styling is too costumey and will just hop over that comment. Call AOC in love with the global village styling or theatrical styling direction of Kamara’s vision.

It’s through embracing some of these mixes that wearers create more relatable translations of the Dazed stories — in this case ‘Island Life’, styled by Imruh Asha and shot in Barbados by Carlijn Jacobs [IG].

I will never forget my partner grabbing his daughter’s life preserver and putting it on his head as he started a Conga line with his son and daughter in a very posh resort in Trinidad. It was amazing how they brought strangers together as more and more people joined into their musical celebration of evening.

I hate to tell stuffy white people that the creative celebration of joy that is the bedrock of Black and Brown life is just getting started. You don’t have to jump on this train, but I am positive that we are looking at a long run.
