Resistance and Rest - Backstage at Ahluwalia SS27

Photography: Bea Dalley @beatrixxindia https://beatrixindiadalley.com Words: Eerie Rose @eerie__rose

What began as research into resistance movements became something else entirely when creative director Priya Ahluwalia came upon photographs of Black Panther members at home, off duty and unguarded. It became clear that rest, community and moments of care and softness are just as vital to resistance as strength, power and fight - and that actually, these moments of joy and peace can be the driving force that gives movements energy. Photographer Bea Dalley takes us backstage to see details of SS27 ‘Revel’ up close.
