Obi Somto, the collection was built for “
Woven Threads”, an exhibition organized by
Lagos Fashion and Design week.
The exhibition looked to the future of Nigerian fashion as it explored
the art of textile craftsmanship. Such traditional arts are an integral
part of Nigerian heritage and cultural identity and bring employment and
income for many communities in the country.
Hosted by the British Council and the British Fashion Council
, Woven Threads completed the link between the art of textile
craftsmanship and the fashion industry’s emerging talent in Nigeria,
making its vision of synergy between the country’s garment heritage and
blossoming fashion industry a reality.
Orange Culture
chose to explore Adire, designing and creating its adire print from
scratch, aso-oke and cow skin leather, using these exciting fabrics to
tell the story of an artistic lover, who is crowned by the feeling of a
love he fails to understand. The orange culture man is quirky, edgy and
very much fearless; he has no time for closed minded individuals.
