Sadly, too many young, talented people have gone unnoticed because of lack of opportunities and systemic racism. Following the recent BLM movement and protests, a multitude of people are finally waking up to the prejudice and inequalities that many are still facing on a daily basis and forcing those at the top to actually look, really look, at their structures. Yes, this sudden interest is completely overdue. But what it lacks in many senses is authenticity. As BAME BA Fashion Journalism students at Central Saint Martins, we call for a level playing field for everyone living through these tumultuous times. Two things: It is time that ‘cancel culture’ stopped overshadowing the voices of those actually doing some good; and that attention is placed on celebrating the BAME talents paving the way for future generations. So, here we present you with PLATFORM, our monthly digital zine run by BAME BA Fashion Journalism and Fashion Communication students and graduates, which celebrates creative individuals and advocates striving for a sincere change. Across our first issue you can find an honest open letter by Ore Ajala titled, ‘My Black Hair,’ expressing how integral hair is to her identity. An exclusive conversation with Natalie Roar, the Nigerian-Irish stylist representing culture and celebrating body image for artists on the main stage. And a fantastical shoot exploring Black baby dolls with ‘white face’ masks in costumes made from repurposed materials by image-maker Joe Bates. It’s through giving a Platform to the younger generation that the story can truly move along.
