Slawn

Slawn is a Nigerian-British artist and designer based in London. Originally from Lagos, his work draws on the visual language of Lagos street culture and British subcultural energy, producing pieces that are deliberately confrontational and resistant to the clean aesthetics of mainstream fashion. Slawn's crossover into fashion has been driven by collaborations with brands that value his raw, unfiltered visual identity: he has worked with big brands like Nike and Crocs, designed album covers for rappers like 21 Savagem and even went viral for unofficial collabs with Rolex and KAWS. His profile has grown through association with artists and designers who operate at the intersection of music, art, and streetwear.
