In 2017 the Tate hosted a 'Late at Tate Britain', titled Stance. Focusing on the “reclamation of cultural identity through fashion and style”, the gallery invited artists and designers into the space to mine its collection of 16th-century portraits.
Inspired by these portraits, frequent collaborators, photographer Kristin-Lee Moolman and stylists Ibrahim Kamara and Gareth Wrighton have produced a new zine, titled Coachie which explores the boundaries of fashion, gender, and race.
Coachie, as a title, borrows from Kamara’s childhood nickname, but he also defines it as a word that “has been used to interpret and play various royal characters while allowing the viewer to experience each persona in their own way.” It “also describes a child who possesses the freedom of imagination and power to create his own universe regardless of access or lack thereof to the outside world.” Which is not unlike the stylist’s own work."
