Shot
by Story teller 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.
