There’s something electric about stumbling across an image that makes you pause—not just because it’s beautiful, but because it feels like truth. That’s how I first encountered Renell Medrano’s work. Her photographs carry presence, a resonance of place, body, lineage, and voice. And as someone who moves between cultures—France, Switzerland, Cameroon, the UK—and lives in that…

I know — it’s been a minute. I sort of disappeared for a bit. Life got loud, the world kept spinning, and I needed a breather. But I’m back, and better — softer, more observant, more rooted. I’ve been thinking about the ways sound travels, about how culture never really dies it just takes new…

There are artists who make music, and then there are artists who shift the air around them — who change the pace of the world. D’Angelo was one of those rare spirits. His passing feels like losing a heartbeat that had been pulsing quietly underneath Black music for three decades. The neo-soul pioneer didn’t just give us…

There’s something magnetic about Dean Blunt. He’s one of those artists who feels like a ghost in machine — always present, never fully seen. In a time where visibility is everything, his whole approach feels like a quiet rebellion. He doesn’t perform. identity; he bends it, hides reshapes it. And somehow, that’s exactly what makes…

Memes aren’t just jokes. They’re stories. They’re history. They’re culture in its rawest, quickest, funniest form. If folktales used to be passed down around the fire, memes are what we pass around in the group chat. They carry codes, lessons, inside jokes that only we fully get. And if we’re being real? Black Twitter and Black TikTok…

The other day at an event, I got into a conversation with someone who’s now become a good friend. Somehow, we started talking about Solange Knowles, and the way she came up really shifted something in me. I left realizing just how much she’s shaped the way I see culture—how I think about being young,…

Carnival is one of those things that carries too many meanings to be contained in just one celebration. It’s music, it’s politics, it’s diaspora survival, it’s joy in motion. And depending on where you come from, what your passport says, or how you grew up, Carnival can feel like everything and nothing all at once.…

It’s funny how discovery often comes through the people we encounter. Chi (@markingsohahomee), a Lagos-based creative and cultural curator, first reached out to me after seeing one of my early interviews on Culture-Anthology. His work blends music, fashion, and diasporic culture with a thoughtful, aesthetic eye, and exploring his page led me to a reference…

Growing up, I never really felt like I belonged anywhere. Not fully. I was born in France, raised in Switzerland, spent some years in Cameroon, and now I’m in the UK. I’m what people call a Third Culture Kid — someone who grows up between different cultures, never fully rooted in one. For a long time, I…

Culture Anthology Presents On editing as memory, motion, and modern myth. There are some visuals that don’t just show you something — they shift the atmosphere. They pause time. They live in your bloodstream for a bit. That’s what Dopesolitary’s work does. On August 2nd, I had the pleasure of speaking with him. We talked…

Culture isn’t just something we consume it’s something we wear, something we dance to, something we breathe. From the rhythm of drill to the texture of tulle, from Brixton block parties to underground raves in LA warehouses, we live in the middle of a cultural mashup that doesn’t ask for permission. Music, fashion, and culture…

91 years of Armani: A moment worth noting This week, Giorgio Armani turned 91. Ninety-one. Nearly a century of life, style, and quiet command. The tributes have poured in: soft-focus montages, tailored retrospectives, and a chorus of voices celebrating the Italian designer’s understated brilliance. He’s hailed as an icon who revolutionised tailoring, who gave women…

Wait what’s Insecure? Insecure is a critically acclaimed HBO series created by Issa Rae that ran from 2016 to 2021. Set in South Los Angeles, the show follows Issa Dee, a twenty-something Black woman navigating her career, friendships, love life, and identity with humor, vulnerability, and hella awkward moments.Loosely based on Rae’s hit web series…

Paris is always dramatic during fashion week, but what Willy Chavarria did this June 2025 wasn’t just dramatic. It was a full- blown political statement wrapped in tailoring, emotion and identity. It wasn’t about selling clothes.It was about being seen, about dignity, about minorities who are constantly policed, erased and deported. And he did it…

If there’s one thing Pharrell knows how to do it’s set a tone. And for Louis Vuitton’s Printemps-Été 2026 Homme collection, the tone was part-poetic, part-dandy, and completely global. Set against the raw, iconic structure of the Centre Pompidou (which is closing for renovations soon btw, so this was a moment), the runway was literally a…

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about culture, it’s that it never sits still. It bends, reshapes, breaks off and comes back together especially when it comes to subcultures. Whether it’s a music scene, a way of dressing, or an attitude, subcultures never stay frozen. They grow, evolve, split, and sometimes flip into something completely…

In a world addicted to logos, flex culture, and TikTok hauls, a new fashion movement is quietly dominating: quiet luxury. Think tonal tailoring. Think stealth wealth. Think linen suits that whisper generational money. From Sofia Richie’s wedding aesthetic to Gwyneth Paltrow’s courtroom fits, quiet luxury has become the new loud. But as I scroll through another…

Reclaiming Beauty: How African Features Are Reshaping Fashion Let’s get one thing straight: African beauty has always been iconic. Full lips, rich skin tones, broad noses, tightly coiled hair, intricate beadwork, facial scarification, headwraps—none of this is new. What is new, however, is how these features and aesthetics are finally being centered, celebrated, and embraced in global fashion and…
