ISSA ODYSSEA

Flying in all the way from Paris, France, we have Lullaby touching down on 12th May to share her art! Electro journalist by day, DJ by night, Marie aka Lullaby is a big fan of techno, hard trance, eurodance and trance. She oscillates between these four styles in order to present her first love for the dark sounds with violent kicks of techno and hard trance and her second passion for the more kitschy and euphoric sounds characteristic of eurodance and trance. Based in Paris, Lullaby hopes to eventually produce her own sounds.

I am a London based designer and final year fashion student at the University of Westminster.

‍

My designs simultaneously challenge and exaggerate gender and identity through strong silhouettes and sculptural corsetry. I predominately work with dead-stock fabrics and incorporate unconventional found materials into my work. I love to create bold and dramatic looks and take a lot of my design inspiration from historical sources.

TEETH is a project housing expression through wardrobe & an aesthetics display influenced by Nerdy Enthusiasm.

Streetwear sparked my interest in fashion.

It originated from a combination of New York hip-hop fashion, Skate Culture, Graffiti, California surf culture, and elements of sportswear, punk, and Japanese street fashion.

With New York being a melting pot of people it makes so much sense streetwear was birthed in that city.

My city London is a melting pot so I’m throwing in my ingredients to the melting pot that is streetwear.

The TEETH mind is a melting pot.

#WGT is a brand-new collective with a wider purpose than just dance – they are more than just one entity. Giving human needs is a top priority as well as getting creative through other artistic mediums like fashion, design, and music. With significant future project for the upcoming year, keep an eye on them. You are going to witness some fascinating blends of art.
