«Be yourself, no matter what they say», sings Sting in a famous song. And IB Kamara, who would surely agree with that refrain, might add: «Don’t be afraid to push your ideas forward, defend them, step outside your comfort zone and embrace everything – even criticism».
These are the words of advice from the mentor to third-year students of Fashion Styling & Creative Direction and Fashion Design during a highly attended Front Row talk, delivered with the inspired emphasis that has made him one of the most brilliant creatives in today’s fashion system. As the Creative Director of Off-White, Stylist and Photographer, IB Kamara transitions between these roles with a spirit of continuous discovery, constantly inventing new codes and languages.
