Respect Experiences And Create A Circular Culture: Sydney Emeka Nwakanma

Pioneering Creative Director, Sydney, has been on a journey of discovery exploring different creative avenues to find his boundaries and his voice. He has definitely found the vessel for the vision he has by encouraging a culture that is ethical, conscious and circular through hand-me-down trade. Sydney’s project, Emeka-Suits, provides a solution through fashion that offers a beautifully tailored collection that exudes “a feeling… more than a strict aesthetic”. The German-based designer from the African diaspora created a shift with his business model by using second-hand waste, using upcycling techniques, and turning fabrics into high-end products. That’s right, the fabric used are curtains that have been on a long journey of their own before being discovered, giving these androgynous suits eccentric flare. All this resulting in new creations that he describes as "extremely beautiful, extremely special like a flower in the desert” [Sydney] Support the show
