During the London Design Festival 2023, Ozwald Boateng and Poltrona Frau unveil ‘Culture and Craft’, a collaboration defined by the Savile Row designer’s interpretations of the Italian furniture company’s classics.

On the 6th of June 2022, Ozwald Boateng launched its worldwide Black A.I collection in unison with That Concept Store in Dubai. The launch marked a significant moment for the already renowned and celebrated collection.

The Concours on Savile Row honours those parallels by bringing the greatest cars in history and 280 years of tailoring expertise together, to celebrate “tradition meeting cutting edge design”.

We captured the moments leading up to this historic and culturally significant fashion show. A celebration of heritage and Authentic Identity.
