was the only way to end the conflict. my guess this week is that of the palestinian mission to the u. k. or does he believe that's possible? conflict in 60000000 with as you go to use is a thought they were great. you will be able i'm bringing you after maximus space that i'm very familiar with best audio school of fashions, annual cash, and show and it is the bad as the models are getting ready to strike this the air is electric as last minute changes are happening in the background and it is a big day for the students as they're preparing to take on the real world. it is

from the organized chaos base base that we bring you today's show. who would have thought the dancing troops and funerals mix? in dyna, one man has and has cause a global station and has change of fatty been inter celebration of life. king is well known in terry and production design and david or shows us around marrow b and the work agree. we joined nigerian design as no la black, as they show us their unique approach to fashion i am she knew by the lucky the and you are watching every max. ah ah, every year almost prestigious passion does. i'm schools to south africa showcase

their newest talents. from this hub of young creativity, we bring you a young voice and his take on odds blending fine arts and illustration. i've been making odd since i was 5 years old. it's been a big part of my life. i don't think i would know who i am without it. so art is me and i have art is like medicine for me. when i'm sad from it's all aka african ginger. i'm a contemporary artist, painter, designer, illustrator, multi disciplinary artist, well known for trading, of almost her pan african new expression, istic art style, combining painting and st are in one style. i grew up in a household where my grand was domestically abused and i witnessed that a lot as

a kid because i was around her all the time. so for me that was a very traumatic experience. and growing up as a guy, i understanding that it's a, it's a, it's a vicious cycle of uncheck mental health leading to a violent approach that says the cycle. and i think knowing is half the battle. and i want it to be completely aware of, you know, what genovese funds is and what it's really doing what, what causes you know, she passed away because of that. i buried it, you know, and that's what made me such an angry teenager. and that's what made me so like rebelliously breaking stuff and just angry at the world, you know. and the old i got, the more realised that i'm feeling upset because on my own mental health plus my own childhood traumas. what may me vocalize or be aware of my trauma and pain was making our

healing is painful. it's not the easiest thing. and the only way to be better is to sit with those doc for that. you don't want to have and processed them. and by doing that, you actually become better and better as time progresses. so yeah, the only thing that made me become conscious of that was making, i was likewise my work so dark and we do a foreign analysis of myself and then digging deep and being like, oh this was the reason this is so dark is because this was this is what influenced this approach. okay, cool. why did they influence this approach? while that happened to me when our fix okay, cool. makes sense. i don't necessarily think that i just have to make stuff in a bad headspace in order for it to be good. i think society is, is kind of made the narrative of like the priest, drug, addict, artist, archetype. you know what i mean? and that's not the truth. anybody can make eyes from any kind of finish alive for a long time. i thought that the only way i make it work is if i'm like in that the

headspace, but 9 times progressing. i'm just like, there's so much more to you so much dimension in making work in a better have space and even the press one i making light is about evoking emotion with it, hate or love, whatever. if someone feels something toward that even frustration, you did something you made with all my house hotels shaky off some work that i did a couple years ago last commission to do a bunch of portraits. some graffiti is pretty much design the whole 1st floor. it's not like one of my personal projects, so i can really focus on emotion or focus on darker themes. this is a commission. so i have to focus on the janice for youth culture and what that means to me and painted in an authentic way as opposed to, you know, being wrapped up the brush strokes and emotive. so the difference between this and

the camera stuff is all about 2 different beams. one is that x and the other is the motion. so we're about to hit the kalashnikov gallery to check out some of my work for me to m j. it's up in the gallery manager and he good. he's good to be back. you know, that's what i made specifically for the show to in my opinion is the best. thank you. the one i really enjoyed making the one going to kept on is only a gift on because we're based in prague from time, which is effectively one of the creative melting pot. some johanna osburg artist lexis would naturally gravitate towards prom because of the, the scene he would just come to the shop. we didn't even know who it was. here's a young punk coming to, to look at off. and later on we just became closer and closer

into to some degree there was some mentorship but yeah, one day we thought he was actually good enough to be in the gallery and then the rest is affecting the history. nice. one of our standing young, emerging artists, focal point in a lot of the works of eyes. in the past, i was very anti painting eyes. i think it revealed too much emotional too much character in each portrait. but i think this time around, i wanted to ease eyes as a vehicle to convey how i was feeling. a lot of these are post, you know, heartbreak, you know, it's, it's, it's the conversation about how i, how people around us deal with our feelings and being aware of our feelings and making something about that. these are more extensions on my solo show that i did in february this year called weiss of blue boy. that collection was quickness and

she the birth of this conversational body motion, vulnerability, masculinity wanting to speak about societal norms and societal conversations against men and men's mental health and prove and show that they always for men to deal with emotions in a natural and healthy way. as opposed to substance abuse and violence, we can express ourselves to conversation and vulnerability. so these are extensions all of my almost vulnerable sol for the most intimate parts of myself being displayed, exhibited in i have the read privilege to be backstage of the annual showcase. the body of school, of fashion posted at the mall of africa was i think, is quite appropriate. i'm sitting here with shepherd who is one of the young designers that will be shepherd how i have them. but at the same time, i'm

a bit excited to finally being here and i'm grateful for the journey bit of a believer saying this is what's going on. yeah, all of this is what slide the connection that we're going to see tonight. the main drive of the collection was complex through my obviously being i thought of side to live the spirit before. yes. what support did you have in creating those collections, family and things interesting data hughes road and also like this feels developed through the as a flooding study or played a huge role in me. being able to present to kind of waken at this level. and you have custom in me because you had me at functionality and come to village. it means a lot before i had some more young design and let's check our kenya, where production and interior designer is changing his environment for the better.

my name is david, are you are, i'm a production and special designer. welcome to a day in my world. my danny, i've been begun over 10 years ago, mainly inspired by movies and stuff that we watch on tv. really my collaboration with book bon cause b and in how people relate to pieces and how to curious the pieces to me to be amused for people where they are comfortable, hospitably read. they're comfortable to spend time in comfortable to engage in different activities. i mean, libraries have so much before being used for just reading and studying and doing research. but now in a please like,

what about islam library where it's an art gallery. you can come in, enjoy art here from different artists who have showcase there at here. you can come and have a picnic here in we are currently in eco loop or a clue. this is the only cover veranda didn't exist on pre restoration of this building on the floor that we are standing on exists. a map of nairobi that represents the different libraries within the city. so inspired in this space was the idea to have artist and influential individuals look around b, u. c. different intellectual musicians, visual art, spots, men, sports women, different figures in their own respect,

existing wise african culture. the more thought after trend in design, i mean this is we're coming back to the my landline. this is not like the creed all of mankind. this is where this is where life began and so i feel like we are coming back home and not only design wise, but in florida from india. c as of life. but here again as one of the space that i've worked on initially from clients brief, it was meant to be a space like to just enjoy chill out with friends and entertain. but also please to just hung up with a book enjoying

a drink. but it turned out that it's now space uses for i showed that she should school to open up. and so i see what does her show here. but it's also us, she uses to chill and entertain guests. the be how the african aesthetic inspires creativity in, in the field of that i am in our see just the use of materials, the richness of the cultures like we have so many different tribes and ways of life in the african context. all that just mixed in this beautiful port of design and and, and way of life really has inspired my jamie vision for the future in my career i, i wanted to so much i, i,

i believe i haven't done my best work really. i think go as long as this breadth inside of me are far from, from even scratching this office of my best walk. and so um the future for me to just more collaborative work. i'd love to collaborate with other artists. love to collaborate with our home interior designer, the special designers for hollywood j come and, and really just be involved in, i'd call them functional squeezes, in terms of being a library officers and just to really be sensitive to how, how people interact with spaces. oh

ah, to night the lights are shining bright from the young creative talent as final such as have been done before the runway showcasing the talents here a study of school of fashion than by you had a clear idea in your mind what you wanted to showcase here tonight, what is the difficulty of translating that? what is in your head exactly on to the model? sometimes the comments will fit as long as you want them to v o a how you have it in your hands. so that is a very depressing moment ever designed to find out if my city where you wanted or how you wanted to fit, i think. yeah. and i can imagine what the field, because as someone who's been a model before, sometimes you guys get frustrated and you just wanted to be perfect. so how did it all come together for you? because we have to be i how can i have a big stage? i think that's how i managed to court with the was truth. because once you find out that something about what can you stress, but then because you know how things are out, i think it's nikki. and i have to ask, how are the no oh i,

i'm lisa lisa with what is the creative concept behind it when, what was the role of styling and all of it? so my concept is based around me finding my identity within my college and embracing my culture as well because it's something i think it's very difficult and not only for women, but for everyone growing up. so i try to incorporate that a lot in my culture. so, but i did was i used the good the method, which is the quoting method that we used to make blankets back back in the out way . and the last of my, any impacted me a lot this year. so i think, oh, great saying no, that's absolutely amazing. and if you know anything about me, you know how much i love bringing back my culture and also just ping home is that people that came before us when it's i'm so excited to see

a connection tonight and all the very best the show is about to start and it only seems appropriate to bring in a fashion voice from nigeria as they are turning. one western fashion is all about on his head. where storytelling, business, we use fashion to affects the mind body and the soul of the individual and collective legard. more and more young fashion designers are revolving in their designs, lesser about western influences and styles. but a more effort centric contemporary and experimental the do of noah black area le, and the fate value louis rupe, who are sisters, who believe that fashion is storytelling. but that's it, sites in our global realities and home life as nigerian globally, when you think about fashion, i'm going think about design as it is guys. i mean they're, you know, they're school of thoughts by my side. so for africa fashion that should also be

valid where it's your design aesthetic is what my says, whether you're edgy like a black or, you know, communicate seen all of those influences in any of our we. so here is where the production, the real logic. because all patterns here with a couple of pieces together here, here is where all the experimentation on prototyping you be carrying about half of these usually be patterns that we're working with currently like this for the unraveling memory dress. this is patrick with these. this is a p, if i need dual pattern until it is done efficiently, cannot leave this room. so literally like if the number of professors go on here. this is sunday and he's our sample machine. he's working on the top right now is also from this collection, hey, stranger connection. and this is one of the t shirts with their collection. hey,

stranger number, black introduces rich colors and echoes of the year book culture. whereas super inside by your culture, we're both your by and of course like every other thing that we experience as well as just being global citizens in general or having just the progressive i'll flew from things on progressive perspective. every single collection we make there will be one single piece or 2 pieces that you can draw a straight line directly from our heritage, all cultural a, b, e, a, you know, wrapper, lewis or you know, the silhouette. it's like the classic what we're doing, lots of reading your bud super the like to look super flamboyance. i think like some of these colors from this collection. very reminiscence of your culture. i feel like the stories are very relevant because when you piece through each one,

you see that it's dice, use it through what we as young people, even known young people. i experience through the time whether it's a stranger which is about solitude. and we can all convene on that same we've seen on that, which is about humans and exploring how work pool of lee is showing. i've seen how those lists come through in many different ways. and you have a look why as well, which is about duality, about life and death. it's about black and white. it's about, you know, all of that. so we kind of communicate. i feel like everything about non block is extremely important because we do have a lot of quick influences as will. it takes passion and in depth knowledge of one's culture and surroundings to be able to create pieces that are rare yet related will . and constantly changing because, you know, we, forth locally where in nigeria, if you know anything about the supply chain of how african countries most, especially nigeria get their fabric. we basically get the remnants from when the

global markets, the global fashion markets are done with these. and, and why we can't necessarily, it won't be on trend if you're a 9 g around brian, just forcing from the market unless you're making your own fabric. and so we don't adult in me of these why creating our collection. we go from a story perspective on everything, feeds the story, so to speak. nigerian fashion and styles are becoming distinct, especially when they're adapting their rich cultural and traditional elements into the style. none the black or proof that african fashion does not have to follow global fashion, but one can always adapt a new way of interpreting designs and fashion. oh, i'm a bite to take my place in the audience, and i'd like to wish all the talent the very best and just have fun with. let's take a moment to unpack what seems like an unusual way to say good bye to

a loved one. but it's actually really african in a not what our feet up whole bears there bring joy to do. so. of grieving, dancing moves asked the car. the coffin have become a global sensation. your videos have gone viral online. i will go on the thought on bringing this is to the church or to the cemetery, you know, the family and wall wishes and one that they do cry and i fall back. you know, i foresight, full upset of why do you cry? so i started to analyze myself in, bring in the, initiating the story so that you know, could share them up. that was 15 years ago. one day, a do realize that a solemn march of full barris was making on already side events even more sorrowful . so established than the map of tough we duck fullborne service with dawson,

troops like these growing in popularity, families, i increasingly given their loved ones a final does. ah, we have an album over here. the client wants to choose form. when is in mrs. is going to choose that he or she wants us to weigh for the location. and i think this week the client in question has to used as quoted where those are why they're going to the coaches. where is because they've got this will never been to it before. so it's always, you know, a b i took over the course is going to be over the phone. what is the same time is going to voice with since becoming a global sensation? benjamin aid,
