{PERSONAL PROJECT}

A modern tribute to Harriet Tubman, American abolitionist and political activist, to capture this sense of liberation fused with rebellion through clothing.

“I’d never seen that before, which is why I think there’s an assumption about who Harriet was. Through costume, I wanted to make her more rich, and show a depth of character and humanity, too.” award-winning costume designer Paul Tazewell for Vogue.Creative/Art direction & Styling- @bryan.emryAssisted by @rootsofafrika
