ALL ACCESS SUMMER TAKEOVER
TJ SAWYERR SHOWS US HOW IT’S DONE
Activist. Director. Model. Storyteller. And at 19 — he's just getting started. We invited TJ Sawyerr to conceptualise and direct a shoot with three friends — up-and-coming talent Hass, Rio Thake and Artyn for an All Access Summer takeover. Styling our 1461 shoe across a summer’s day in London, we chat about what inspires their creative work and personal style.
TJ SAWYERR / CREATIVE DIRECTOR, MODEL AND ACTIVIST / @TJ.SAW1
"I want to inspire and reinvigorate the imagination of the youth. So I’ve presented 3 of my most impressive — yet grounded — creative counterparts, and embarked on the most extravagant of summer’s days. Powered by myself and the 1461s on my feet. I want to encourage collaboration and imagination. I want to encourage you to dare to dream this summer."
“I’M A STORYTELLER THROUGH MEANS OF CREATIVE DIRECTION. THERE’S STORIES TO BE TOLD FOR THE PEOPLE FROM WHERE I’M FROM” - TJ SAWYERR
"In the words of Virgil Abloh — I like to blur the line between streetwear and high fashion. Many people view the two as mutually exclusive — but I try to integrate elements of each into my everyday fits. Versatility is key."

RIO
DANCER, MODEL AND ACTOR
@RIOTHAKE
“I’m originally from East London, but I’ve grown up in Camden. The mix of cultures, races and characters in Camden has inspired me to express myself through my style — and the confidence to be free. My style is very personal to me, very ‘out there’."
“STYLE DOESN’T HAVE TO EVOLVE IN THE FORM OF ‘NEW’ THINGS. I’VE HAD ITEMS IN MY WARDROBE FOR YEARS THAT I’LL KEEP FOREVER — I JUST WEAR THEM DIFFERENTLY” - RIO
"What am I excited for this summer? Honestly — just simple stuff like being outside. Meeting new people, trying new things. And lots of bike riding."

“Docs have long been a part of me expressing myself. And I’ve always loved how music has helped my creative expression too. That love of music was built through friends, family, and the people I grew up with in Brixton. People who come from struggle find ways to innovate. Find ways to be creative, find ways to make it out.”
“PEOPLE CAN WRITE A MILLION STORIES ABOUT YOU JUST FROM THE WAY YOU’RE DRESSED.” - Ayrtn

@RAREFILMCLUB
“I find inspiration through the people I surround myself with. Even popping into a record shop and listening to what tunes they're spinning is a regular thing for me – there's so much history in vinyl records — and so many stories being told generationally. It’s a massive inspiration to my archive filming.”
“THE WAY I DRESS IS AN EXPRESSION OF HOW I’M FEELING EACH DAY. ALWAYS UNPLANNED. BUT ALWAYS A REFLECTION OF MY MOOD.” - HASS
