Will never forget discovering Mowalola’s early work in 2019 and 2020, being completely in awe and enthralled by the pieces. The color and sprayed leather, the incorporation of cow print and other textures… it had a grunge and underground feel to the clothing yet with mass appeal. That is where her gift truly lies, bridging worlds

Interesting interview, the interviewer weeds out some of the more murky parts of her history but I wish he had been more direct and wasn't so overly agreeable. Mowalola is sort of fascinating, she has the temperamental artist archetype going for her, prioritizing her vision over cooperate viability to a degree, but I think she lacks the ingenuity and intellectualism to justify her character. Her designs are rather garden variety in a post McQueen fashion world. She's relied on shock design so much it's apparently even too far for Kanye. (But she's in her own words, is Kanye's therapist and anybody taking on such a herculean task deserves nothing short of everything.) Also, she's luckily addressed the n word shirt and honestly the logic leaves much to be desired, as expected. The prospect of a non-black person wearing a shirt with a slur on it vs. hearing a rap song that includes that word are poles apart obviously because the song could be engaged with in spite of a word or two. There is also the issue of diasporic discourse, she is a British African not African American, thus many would and I'm sure have argued she shouldn't be saying it either. Side notes: I like the color grading of this video, her beautiful nails, and the fact she stood firm in selecting JT over Bella Hadid.

Idk personally I think interviewer was off. He wasn’t really coherent and felt the questions he asked all followed same structure of “but would you do….” He also failed to name a couple of her creative works correctly 😩 and also to name the reason as why there’s not black designers because “they keep to themselves”? like to not blatantly say racism in the fashion industry….? Missed opportunity. But mowalola slays and handled that moment well 😍

Also, him not being aware she was a musical artist was... interesting.
