SABIRAH Collection 1.3 was inspired by the lost portraits of the black Victorians that were unearthed (in 2014), after over hundred years in the Hulton archive by curator Renée Mussai and director of Autograph ABP, Mark Sealy MBE. Deborah imagined these women of colour flourishing in today’s world and wanted to recreate the fine clothing of that age while retaining the distinct SABIRAH brand.
