The attention of detail displayed in this collection shows a passion for art being incorporated into the designs. The accessories used appear quite intentional at promoting the African origin of the brand.A piece that stood out the most to me was the OLÓKUN. Sage green is a calm, earthy tone with subtle hints of grey, giving it a soft and soothing appearance. This sage green outfit works well as a masculine traditional attire, giving it a sophisticated feel. The detailing, like the contrasting black patterns and minimalistic design, adds to its elegance and gives it a contemporary edge. Paired with the right accessories, it is great for formal or semi-formal traditional events.Another fit that completely steals the show is the ARAN. There’s something divine and traditionally spiritual about the patterns and colours.
