Lloyda Bangura is a rising talent in the world of knitwear design, drawing inspiration from her rich Sierra Leonean British heritage and a deep affinity for 90s and Y2K nostalgia. Her work is a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, where the vibrant and diverse influences of West Africa meet the futuristic aesthetics of contemporary fashion. Bangura is committed to conceptual slow fashion, an approach that emphasizes thoughtful, sustainable creation over fast-paced, disposable trends.

This drive led her to pursue a Master’s degree at Nottingham Trent University, where she delved deeper into the possibilities of textile design. Her studies focused on emerging technologies in textiles, allowing her to push the boundaries of her creativity and craft.

In her work, Bangura is developing a modernist, innovative approach to knitwear, envisioning a future where traditional techniques and cutting-edge technology intersect. Her designs are not just garments but statements, embodying a forward-thinking philosophy that seeks to redefine the future of fashion.
