Photographer Scott Butler delves into South Asian and Caribbean fashion for this cultural alternate reality

Inspired by renowned African photographer Malick Sidibé – known for his black-and-white studies of popular culture in 1960’s Mali – photographer Scott Butler and his team created this editorial to showcase cultures in an alternative reality. Using a slew of South Asian and Caribbean brands, including Nicholas Daley, Saul Nash, and Ahluwalia – all of which are effortlessly styled by Ajay Singh – Butler used Sidibé’s stylistic flair in a series of images that reimagined the photographer’s famed technique, and by-and-by highlighted a selection of labels that weave culture and heritage throughout their designs.
