The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2026 - Issue 39

bitefashion Lololi Quashigah In a highly transactional market- place where products overshadow people, we forget the faces behind the goods. Lololi Quashigah’s ‘Moko Ni’ collection evoked the say- ing, ‘Their bodies as clothes, their clothes the market’, and restored the name, story and value, using the language of commerce to reframe their worth. The culture of selling second-hand clothing in the market inspires the maxi pleat detailing seen through- out the collection as hawkers carry bundles of garments held tightly against them, creating a relationship between their clothing. Just as they wear their inventory, they wear the fabric of the market. @signed.lq lololiquashigah@gmail.com DE MONTFORT UNIVERSITY
