Wear it Your Way - BexBlu

BexBlu is the kind of creative you can’t pin down to one lane. Photographer, visual director, and producer, he moves through the UK’s music and fashion worlds with the same fluidity that defines his sound. His work is cinematic, often subversive, and rooted in the lived realities of the culture around him. Whether he is behind the lens or in front of the mic, there’s always intent. Always an eye on the bigger picture. That made him a clear choice for the Futureproof line-up.

From the second he walked on set; there was a quiet authority to the way he moved. No need to overthink, no need to rehearse. He understood the space, the light, the mood we were trying to capture, and stepped into it naturally. The camera found him instantly. First in the hooded jacket, pulling it into place with a slow, deliberate motion, then switching to the striped tee layered under a technical shell. Both looks felt lived-in, not styled onto him but pulled from his own wardrobe.

BexBlu talks about British style like someone who has studied it his whole life, not in books, but on the streets, at shows, in the circles where it lives. “I think there’s a lot of different UK subcultures that are connected,” he says. “The underground scene is this melting pot of influences. British style is very unfiltered.”

For him, Lyle & Scott sits firmly in that picture. “It’s a massive part of UK fashion. I remember in the 2000s and early 2010s, it was everywhere. Especially in grime. You can find bare videos from back then with Skepta wearing Lyle & Scott in a freestyle. People repped it heavy.” He draws parallels to other brands embedded in working-class British style, from Stone Island to Moncler, but points out that Lyle & Scott’s place in the culture is uniquely its own.

When the conversation shifts to success, his answer is layered.

“You can be the number one guy in the world, but I want to have three or four of those albums that fuse sounds, that stand up. I don’t just want to do a grime thing. I want to do a hip-hop album, a jazz album, produce a soul album for a singer, and make something super experimental. There’s so much to discover.”

Between takes, he kept that same understated composure. No forced moves, no overplaying it. Just someone who knows exactly who he is, and how he wants to be seen. In a project built on celebrating the future of British creativity, BexBlu’s vision feels like one that will keep evolving, finding new ways to connect sounds, images, and stories.
