I was gonna wait until tomorrow to post this but I feel now it’s important to. I give you a queer person in a dress on a cover with their nipples out, so so proud of who they are! This isn’t me on the cover of a magazine it’s every queer kid out there seeing themselves represented and assured they have a place in this world and it’s front and center. Thank you to Harpers Bazaar for allowing me to be nothing less of who I am on this limited edition cover. Honoured to be a part of an issue promoting the largest exhibition of ‘Menswear’ at the V&A. Honoured to be a part of a dialogue around menswear and clothing and what that means for the world on how we dress and are able to express ourselves. Comment all the throwing up emojis that you want but CHANGE is here to stay, so we are gonna be who we are and you’re gonna have to get over it or more importantly learn from it!

Over the past couple of days I have been thinking of exactly how I want to announce the release of my first ever book, FLUID. I have gone through so many childhood photos and reflected on memories, traumas, fears and life lessons over the years. Trying to figure out a way to express the importance of this book, not only as a pillar for my fluidity and fashion, but for everything that I am. As I looked at this book full of images, I felt huge optimism for all of us queer kids to be seen, while reflecting back I was triggered by an ignorant intolerant comment on one of my instagram posts, followed by the numerous news reports on further erosions of rights in the queer community, banning drag queens and discussions around gender in schools, and stigmatising anyone not in the societal box. It all clicked and made me realise so clearly WHY I GOT HALF NAKED, DRESSED AS A FLUID MERMAID AND WROTE A BOOK ABOUT EMBRACING ONESELF AND SPEAKING OUT ON BEING QUEER, and showing the importance of questioning the gender binary. I give YOU my first book entitled FLUID, a book for the dreamers, the weirdos, and every kid who doesn’t feel that they fit in. Here is a bit of my journey. Thank you Josh Young for helping get this kids ADHD/dyslexic, and dyspraxic words onto the pages thank you @abramsbooks for taking on this kind of “fashion “ book. PRE – ORDER IN MY BIO! Thank you to @barnesandnoble, @waterstones, and @amazonbooks and everyone else for stocking this book and showing your love and support Fuck it just be you! Everyone’s watching, so sway past them all and own your own space! special thanks to @marc_hibbert for creating this powerful image with me 🤍

I grew up watching her videos in my room, getting every dance move down to the best of my ability, singing, crying and dancing, trying so hard to just luminate even 5% of the light she shines onto this world. I used her music blasting in my headphones as the bullies said whatever they wanted to me in the playground, as I kick stepped and spun with her music blasting in my ears… helping me escape to another world, a safe world, a world of freedom! This one’s for my queers and people stepping out into this world being nothing less than who they truly are, loud, proud, and turning heads by using fashion as their weapon to invoke change, conversation and hope! I give you the one and only BEYONCÉ for the COVER of British Vogue styled by the true genius and a supporter I couldn’t be where I am without, @edward_enninful. Mrs. Carter wears the “ Iconic White Hat” hat with a dark feather twist in collaboration with my ride or die @vivienne.h.lake British Vogue your continued support is beyond anything I could have ever wished for, hoped for, imagined! A massive massive thank you to Beyoncé’s personal stylist @marnixmarni Love you
HAPPY FUCKING PRIDE! Found this photo of myself when I first moved to London almost 10 years today, beaming with queer enthusiasm and unapologetic glee for being an over the top, shameless fluid designer. I feel so lucky to be able to create fluid creations everyday with my London team and hopefully play a small part in making this world a little bit more fluid and fabulous! HAPPY PRIDE, I can not wait to have another year around the sun making the most in your face, fabulous and Unapologetic clothes! 🤍
