Maame BaryehFounding Director of Untold, CEO of Fashion Diversity and the designer behind Maame Baryeh London and Ma:LE menswear. Maame shared the Untold vision from its inception and remains passionate about the reasons for its very existence, she aims to continue driving it forward but be left in no doubt the existence of Untold hinges on the shared vision and efforts of the team and the creative people who join forces on each project thus enabling the movement to grow.
As a designer, her frustrations mirror those of other emerging artists - infinite talent yet no platform. Designers, more oft than not, remain unseen or unheard and such is the vision of Untold that these stories are given the opportunity to be Told to the widest possible audience. It is, and remains very much an education in creativity aimed at facilitating the appreciation of the art of design. The community spirit, creative energies and vision which emulate from every stage of this initiative is the fuel that enables its continual growth.
“Untold aims to create opportunities where non exist and, through this, bring to light the plight of creatives across a wealth & breadth of disciplines”
“I very much hope you will embrace this vision and share the stories you see Told. Word of mouth is as much endorsement as you can hope for as it means you were touched by the tale you saw and heard and it compelled you to share it with others.”
Maame Baryeh
