With over 300 languages spoken within its city limits — more than any other metropolis — London has cemented its place among the world’s most culturally diverse cities. That fact has boosted London’s reputation not only as a creative hub, but also as a source of inspiration and community for artists across creative industries, from fashion and media to music and art.⁠
⁠
“London has a rich Diaspora culture, and it’s where… you have the opportunity to build a community around you,” says fashion designer Jawara Alleyne (@jawaraalleyne). “London, being such a vast city, gives that space [for] these multiple different cultures that are existing on top of each other and inspiring each other and feeding off of each other.”⁠
⁠
This week on The BoF Podcast, BoF founder and editor-in-chief Imran Amed (@imranamed) chats with four exciting Londoners shaping the city’s creative scene.⁠
⁠
Alleyne joins conceptual artist Amber Pinkerton (@ambercashmere), musician Bradley Miller (@cktrl) and Dazed editorial director Kacion Mayers (@kaci0n) to discuss their experiences of living, working and creating in London and to hear their advice for other creatives looking to break in.⁠
