black in london is a 4 part editorial series curated and creative directed by kwamena that celebrates and pays homage to the experiences of black people living in london. although the black community is extremely diverse with many different cultures, living in london there are certain aspects of life we all share. each part of the mini series focuses on a different experience. for part one we shot at mr klass ltd a black owned hair and beauty shop in tottenham. hair and beauty shops are culturally significant within the black community due to the fact that up until recently these shops were the only companies that solely catered to us in the hair and beauty industry. till this day many of us still opt to buy beauty products from these shops. this shoot is the cover of issue 6 of the new wave|volume 6|street fashion edition of mob journal magazine published in may 2021
