Sinead Cloonan is Nataal’s one to watch. The British Nigerian designer graduated from Central Saint Martins’ MA in fashion knitwear this year with an experimental collection that embraces what she calls her “scatty” approach to creation. Inspired by her family, especially her mother, Cloonan makes raw yet glitzy pieces that speak to both Newham and Naija. She has also recently been selected by Nick Knight to join the Sarabande Foundation, which was originally established by Alexander McQueen to support fashion talent with scholarships and studios. Watch her gloriously messy star soar.
