Three Cheers For Labrum London!

Words Bethany Boyo

Three Cheers for Labrum! As creative director Foday Dumbuya goes back to his roots in Sierra Leone this season, the collection explores poetic movement and what a collection it is. The show, featuring a spoken word performance and vocals by a choir, transported onlookers into another world, taking us on a journey of movement.

Almost poetic in its fluidity, the collection is filled with cultural nuances, from the detailed tailoring of suits and overcoats to the dynamic colours such as ocean greens and effervescent yellows seen throughout. Dumbaya expresses the influences from back home and his life here as the fabrics used are steeped in culture, sourced and crafted in Freetown. Standout pieces include: a collarless suit with braided leather pockets and a vivacious orange coat with oversized lapels. Teaming up with leather goods brand Nosakhari, the brand also unveiled three contemporary bag shapes including a crossbody, an oversized tote and a folio.

Labrum London continues growing from strength to strength, with each collection and show setting a standard for the next. WOTC are excited to see where the artistry of Foday Dumbuya and his team will take us next.
