LONDON, United Kingdom — Quarantine hasn’t stopped stylist and art director Ibrahim Kamara from creating. Although he is unable to work on the fantastical fashion visuals he’s become renowned for, the time spent in his London home is nonetheless far from wasted. “I might not be able to achieve my dreams right now, but I can write them and make a note of them,” Kamara told BoF’s Editor-at-Large Tim Blanks in the latest episode of the BoF Podcast.
Born in Sierra Leone, Kamara moved to London in his early teens. He has since worked with some of fashion's biggest names, including Stella McCartney, Fenty and Hermès as well as publications including British Vogue, Love and AnOther. During lockdown, Kamara and Blanks touched base to talk about photography as a force for change.
