These 8 year old uncle @jimiking hand dyed, hand painted stretch cotton kick flares are the truth and the light, my uniform through quarantine. #nofastfashion ….. 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺 When l was a poor teenager from mile 2 estate, my long commute to school in Yaba saw me in busses driving past his Surulere store with the distinctive calligraphy and glamourous clothes on mannequins. I loved the vision of the world he presented through those displays. It told me there was a world outside my condition to inhabit. Through books, art, music, fashion and cinema l never felt poor even when hungry. I never felt powerless. I did of course come to know uncle Jimi and many of the artists and artiste of my formative years through my career but l don’t think l ever told uncle Jimi thank you for the beauty.
