Quibi has released a trailer for actress/writer Lena Waithe‘s upcoming “You Aint Got These” series, which documents the history of sneaker culture. In the intro clip Waithe sets the tone when she states, “I think most people are mortals and they want to feel like gods. They want to feel sane and feel significant and the way to do that, is to put on a pair of kicks everybody wants.”

London-based Nigerian fashion designer Mowalola Og

London-based Nigerian fashion designer Mowalola Ogunlesi has provided her first official interview since since presenting her spring 2024 Mowalola collection in London in September. In the exchange with @dazed, Ogunlesi revealed the presentation almost didn't happen because of lack of funding, until Ye aka Kanye West stepped in and covered the cost of the show.

The spring 2024 runway stirred controversy because it included a mini skirt adorned with the flag of Saudia Arabia, which features the Shahada, an Islamic oath. Strict observers of the faith descended on the label's social media feeds where they excoriated the designer for printing the the holy oath on clothing, which has been banned by the Saudi Ministry of Commerce for commercial purposes since 2022. Ogunlesi initially brushed off the criticism but then apologized and took down images of the skirt.

Ogunlesi was also asked to address Ye's more controversial views, which include a whole host of antisemetic and bigoted statements. "You don’t have to agree with everyone but he’s also been, apart from my parents and my sister and my community, the only person who’s supported me in this business," she explained. "He’s helped me see my dreams come true, and I appreciate that. If not for him, I would lowkey be dead in the water."

The Central Saint Martins graduate also spoke on the ongoing challenges of keeping a small label funded along with her wish to work for a larger label. Highlighting a lead creative role at Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Givenchy and Vivienne Westwood as goal worthy, Ogunlesi pointed out that the industry might not be ready to hire a Black woman to lead a major label. "I’ve never seen any Black woman at the head of any house, and I keep seeing all these diagrams of the history of fashion houses and it’s all white people.

"It feels like it’s already decided that it isn’t a space for a Black woman, you know? I feel like they’re only just testing out the Black man now. The Black woman doesn’t even cross their minds," she said.
