Grace Wales Bonner returns to take inspiration from the radical thinkers of the 1980s diaspora to revamp and elevate a series of adidas archive pieces for the autumn\/winter 2021 season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This collection completes the “Black Sunlight<\/strong>” collaborative trilogy<\/strong> between the British designer and the Trefoil brand, alongside the “Lovers Rock<\/strong>” FW20 and “Essence<\/strong><\/a>” SS21.<\/p>\n

As Tyler Mitchell<\/strong><\/a> ‘s imagery filters nostalgia into the episode, we can see how influences from European <\/strong>and African aesthetics<\/strong> merge into the same 80s<\/strong>-inspired imagery. Academic iconography and collegiate graphics<\/strong> are added to these identity codes, between T-shirts, joggers and anoraks.<\/p>\n
