A beautiful little throwback that we never got to share here. 💚
Almost two years ago, a few months after Earth Hand and Fibre came to life, we had our very first crochet fashion show at Ubuntu.Hub - November 2024.
If you were at our first ever crochet gathering earlier that year (snacks, music, yarn and just getting to know each other), you would know how much this meant. From just meeting as strangers who love crochet, to actually making pieces and putting on a whole fashion show together.🥹
On the day, some of the designers from that first gathering came through and made beautiful outfits with their hands, yarn and just a hook. Our models in different ages, different genders, different sizes, different skin tones. All Black, all beautiful. That was the whole point. Showing that crochet is for everybody and every body.✨
After the runway, we watched a documentary about colorism in African countries, sponsored by Sunshine Cinema and that really shifted the day. We didn’t just talk about clothes. We talked about sustainable fashion, about inclusivity, about skin tone, about our own experiences with colorism. It became so much bigger than just a fashion show.
This was just the beginning for us. 🧶
