Since 2020, Kazvare has designed patterns and illustrations for Labrum London, from graphic tees to tailored suits. Drawing on archival imagery, vintage postage stamps and portraiture, the work brings overlooked Black histories onto the runway, into Selfridges and onto the pages of GQ.

LABRUM LONDON

Collections and collaborations, 2020–2023

ARCHIVE + MEMORY

The Black Prince Naimbana — SS20

Original textile illustrations inspired by the life of Prince John Frederic Naimbana, blending 18th-century West African and British iconography. The designs were digitally printed on linen herringbone and appeared on garments and Converse Chuck 70s in Labrum's SS20 runway collection.

Labrum x Selfridges — Limited Edition Stamp Collection

Illustrated stamp portraits of John Henry Smythe and Evelyn Dove, two figures from Black British history who deserve to be far better known, for Labrum's exclusive Selfridges capsule. The artwork was printed on sweatshirts and tees made from organic cotton and deadstock fabric.

African Vintage Stamp Series

A set of vintage-style postage stamps representing Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Ghana, printed across Labrum garments. One of the T-shirts was worn by John Boyega in GQ.

CULTURAL ICONOGRAPHY

Labrum x Tupac Capsule Collection

Print motifs for a capsule celebrating Tupac Shakur's legacy, including a rose illustration inspired by his poetry collection The Rose That Grew from Concrete. The artwork appeared across tees, hoodies and gilets.
