Nicholas Daley presented his Spring/Summer 2023 collection in September 2022, tapping on Jamaican multi-hyphenate Harry Belafonte to reflect Caribbean success. His record-breaking album, Calypso, inspired Daley thoroughly, marking the designer’s intense connection with generational talent.

For the collection’s launch, Nicholas Daley has prepared an immersive film to showcase the range in motion. The designer explores Calypso music and its rich visual personality through the eyes of Trinidadian musician Fimber Bravo and broadcaster Zakia Sewell.

The duo jam out to traditional Caribbean tunes while sporting Daley’s vibrant SS23 collection. Taking a deep dive into Calypso’s cultural impact, the film tells a complex story about the genre’s history and influence on modern music.

Take a look at Nicholas Daley’s SS23 “Calypso” film above.
