Kemi Telford blue jacket

Through boxes, zig-zags, circles and colour, Nigerian-British designer Yvonne Modupe Telford tells a story of art, womanhood, and sacrifice.
When we asked Yvonne to create a design inspired by works in Tate’s collection, she was particularly drawn to the works of Sonia Delaunay, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, and Anni Albers. Yvonne saw their works as evocative of not only their own artistic journeys, but of the challenges faced by womanhood as a whole. Yvonne’s pattern created in response is symbolic of the obstacles and prejudices that women face, creating a bold print as vibrant as the lives that inspired it.
’These are stories that modern-day women still relate to. Stories that I relate to as a woman, a wife, and a mother. Stories of the ups and downs, in the lifetime of a woman.' - Yvonne Modupe Telford.
African wax print fabrics are integral to Kemi Telford’s practice; care has been taken to reproduce the texture and quality of these fabrics in her designs for Tate. To this end, the patterns are applied using a Batik screen printing method on 100% organic cotton.
The jacket can be worn open, or cinched closed at the waist using the matching belt.
