FEBRUARY 20 2021
THESTREETSARECOLD PRESENTS, THE CLASS OF 2021, A LONDON FASHION WEEK PROJECT SHOWCASING OUR PICK OF THE 2021 UNDERGROUND CREATIVE TALENT WITHIN THE FASHION INDUSTRY. Without further Ado, we present, The world of Nalu
WHERE DID IT START FOR YOU?
Abraham was born in Staten Island, NY and relocated to the UK with his family during his studies. After graduating from university, he shunned career opportunities in banking and started the World Of Nalu as an exploration of his heritage- the expression of the African American culture through fashion. Nalu began with durag silhouettes; uprooting stigmas around the polarising headwear piece. And has since grown into a voyage of understanding of cultures and perspectives through fashion from your voice.
Why WILL 2021 BE YOUR YEAR?
A world would not exist without the people within it. Nalu is the first ever fashion brand that is run by you, told by you and celebrates you for who you are. Up until now, you’ve been fighting to be heard and understood. In 2021, we are here to tell you the battle is already won- ‘World Of Nalu’.
WORLD OF NALU
ABRAHAM ADAMS
WHAT DOES ‘NOBODY LIKES US EXCEPT US’ MEAN TO YOU?
The things that make you smile, cry, laugh and fly can never be found in anyone else.
WHATS NEXT UP FOR the world of nalu?
Only God knows and that’s the magic of it all. Nalu isn’t owned by me or any other one person; thus it’s not dictated as such. Nalu was birthed and like any other child, will figure out it’s own destiny with us to guide it on its journey. More lessons, more stories, more people; this we know for sure.
WORLD OF NALU
ABRAHAM ADAMS
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE STARTING OUT / THINKING ABOUT DOING SO?
You don’t need to know what it takes, you have what it takes inside. What you know will only ever get you to the door. You have to turn the door knob to open it. Take a leap and j’adore le voyage.
