Collaborating with Central Saint Martins graduate Simone Beyene, Ney Liqa is redefining the music industry’s traditional release schedule with a multi-sensory URL visual experience.

Ahead of the release of her forthcoming album, Be Your Own Boyfriend, Ry Gavin sat down with the rising star to discuss all things music, boxing, festival escapades and love, before hitting the studio and dressing up in clothes from some of London’s most exciting young designers, creatively directed by Jeffrey Thomson, photographed by Morgann Eve Russell and styled by Simone Beyene.

Final-year fashion communication students at Central Saint Martins, George Hutton and Simone Beyene, capture London-based, Nigerian-born musician Chi Virgo around the East End of London.

Stylist Simone Beyene first met her long-time friend and collaborator, zesty ‘West-Ten’ singer Mabel, back at school in Stockholm. But they didn’t always have the MTV-obsessed friendship that’s become the reoccurring theme tune to their ‘90s/’00 inspired work.
