The Clothing in these images come from the Final Year Collection designed by Taneshé Oliver-Lodge. Taneshé was really fascinated by the film ‘Lover’s Rock’, about a house party held in a black British Caribbean home. Lover’s Rock is a unique form of romantic reggae music from the late ‘70s. The collection was about taking the viewers on a journey that captured an essence of what it was like to be Black British. Taneshé spoke about visiting her great grandma’s house and how these experiences played a part in creating her collection. “I am interested in Black British identity and how we exist in spaces that are often very hostile.” - Taneshé
