Ayishat Akambi
Ayishat Akanbi is a fashion stylist and writer based in London.
She has styled grammy award-winning reggae artist Koffee, as well as Rod Stewart, Labrinth, Maverick Sabre, Wretch 32, Wizkid, Davido, Little Simz, Chronixx, and fashion icon Naomi Campbell. She has also worked as a stylist for global fashion brands Nike, Converse, Adidas, Eastpak, Dr.Martens, and H&M.
Ayishat's writing positions her as a cultural commentator, motivated by a strong belief in the value of open conversation and looking beyond echo chambers. She most often speaks on the ever-shifting cultural and social landscape, particularly around identity-based narratives and their potential limitations, always in an effort to combat division, extremism, and polarisation. Rooted in reflection on her own experience and identity, Ayishat seeks to illuminate our differences but, crucially, critically highlight our similarities. She has spoken at Google, The Sydney Opera House, Radley College, and The V&A.
