London-based fashion label Labrum introduces its new collection for the Spring/Summer 2022 season and is full of cultural influences. The brand embodies the goal to create designs that are the perfect depiction of a contemporary member of 'the African diaspora.'
The brand aims to accurately tell the stories of the generations before them and to really capture the mantra of "designed by an immigrant." The seasonal range is entitled 'The Sound of Movement.' It celebrates the 70s, boasting a slight retro theme as there were many Caribbean and African immigrants moving over to Britain, further enforcing the mantra of the capsule. This is translated through details such as bold prints, tie-dye patterning, and bright pops of color.
