DESIGN FOR LOVE UNVEILS NEW COLLECTION – SISI EKO

Spread the love
Wavemaking Lagos
Fashion Designer, Design For Love recently unveiled her latest collection tagged Sisi
Eko. The Spring/Summer 2016  collection
is an absolutely mesmerizing transformation of Nigerian wax prints into ‘it’
girl wardrobe must-haves that have simply broken the long standing
characterization of wax prints as just a wrapper and blouse fabric into an
essentially statement filled wardrobe staples of a cosmopolitan city girl with
a thousand and one soirees and social events to attend.
This
collection is filled with what seems to be the irony of Lagos living – ‘an
organized chaos’! The collection draws references from the disco seventies with
sequined stockings in an array of electric hues; ultimately giving it a dated
feel, yet rejuvenated with flirty asymmetry of the blouses and a bubbling
exuberance that can only be likened to youth and wonderfully encapsulates the
authentic energetic Lagosian spirit of relentlessness, eccentricity, audacity
with a one unifying factor of flirty intrigue.

Featuring
blouses and dresses that skim the knee and cinch at the waist with a vitality
and quirk that explodes into a cacophony of vibrant print saturated collection
that serves as a visual pallette cleanser and a nice break from the usually
predictable wax print collections that I have seen in the past.
