Our\u00a0Fashion East favourite Grace Wales Bonner will take part in the forward-thinking \u2018Transformation Marathon\u2019 this Saturday at the Serpentine Gallery.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n We\u2019ve been head over heels for Jamaican-British menswear designer Grace Wales Bonner since she graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2014. Swiftly snapped up by Lulu Kennedy\u2019s Fashion East collective, Grace\u2019s thought-provoking and evocative presentations have become the <\/em>event at LC:M.\u00a0Her innovative designs \u2013 exploring black male history, visual culture and cross-cultural identity \u2013 are consistently relevant, awe-inspiring and perhaps most pertinently, urgent in nature. If anyone\u2019s bringing substance to menswear in London, it\u2019s Grace.<\/p>\n This Saturday, Grace\u2019s transcendental talent will come in to play in a performance at Serpentine Gallery\u2019s \u2018Transformation Marathon\u2019. The event invites everyone from artists to anthropologists and architects to address cultural, political and physical shifts in a series of talks, installations and performances. Grace\u2019s performance with Moussa Dembele, ‘Everythings For Real’, is named after Grace’s collage-led zine series. The zines, created in collaboration with Ditto Press and art directed by Jamie Reid, present Grace’s mood board collages of found imagery, ephemera, prose and poetry from a variety of historic sources that have inspired the associated collection. Everythings For Real Volume II (pictured above) is a feast for the eyes and if the zines are anything to go by this Saturday’s performance\u00a0is going to be an unmissable\u00a0insight into Grace’s mind. See you there!<\/p>\n
