Wales Bonner's collections for her eponymous label continue to evoke and explore the rich history of the African diaspora, often drawing on musical touchpoints to do so. The
Xalam shorts from the brand's SS23 collection are a case in point, alluding to the West African stringed instrument of the same name. Cut to a loose fit with a dropped-crotch, this pair's light linen-blend lends them a laid-back, relaxed feel.
