When Mei Hui, of Victim fashion, invited me to take portraits at a tea party she was hosting, I already knew some of her friends from the East London creative collective, their Colour Walks and openings. Their vibrant community is hugely supportive of one another, seeming to recognise that collectively their effort is more than the sum of its parts, and wonderfully giving to me as a photographer. I hope that the pictures I have made, at this and other events, reflect that and my gratitude to them all.
