"As designers we are dreamers and the power of the dream is that it brings a belief to life. We all need to believe it is possible to unite," they added. The couple, whose inspiration tends to comes from black and mixed Caribbean cultures, said that prejudice and violence could be overcome "with our family, a family where nobody is left behind... a multicultural family in a global and diverse world."
