Qasimi The image of British literary titans all sat in a circle talking about Important Stuff is a scene as pretentious as it is romantic. Because it would be all deep nods (eyes closed), and Principia Ethica, and "less a question, more an observation" – things that make our cynical, meme-bruised brains shudder. But when those meetings took place before this digital dark age? The romance outweighs the cringe. We want in on the book club, the one full of communists and crinolines and the feeling that you could actually change something. That is pure, unadulterated romance, and it's something Qasimi tapped into during its A/W '21 show as the London-based label pulled up a figurative chair to the Bloomsbury Group.
