Grace Wales Bonner presents the much anticipated Fall Winter 2022 collection titled ‘Togetherness.’ The collection draws inspiration from the avant-garde jazz trumpeter Don Cherry and his wife, artist, Moki Cherry. Based in rural Sweden during the 70s, the couple traveled widely and created ‘organic music’ performances. These performances were then captured and transformed by Moki Cherry into spiritual environments through her hand-made tapestries and wall hangings.
Togetherness also brings newness to Wales Bonner’s ongoing partnership with adidas Originals through technical craftsmanship – reimagined Gazelles in jewel tones and a sporty Mary-Jane in shimmering brocade.
no horizons but togetherness, codona
– as if music
The collection debut is accompanied by a film by Steven Traylor, filmed in Los Angeles and featuring acclaimed musician Caleb Giles of Standing on the Corner, the film presents the artist’s personal exploration of the themes of universality, community and creative exchange.
