Deji Eniola whose ultimate goal is to redefine Africa’s sartorial identity outdid himself again on the second day of the just concluded Heineken Lagos Fashion and Design Week.
The collection titled 2 Rogues & A Gentleman consisted of formal, classy and laid-back designs of modern menswear and women’s wear featuring peak lapels, shawl collars and safari jackets in weather-friendly fabrics. The suits on display came in well-tailored men’s wear and androgynous pieces for women with sashes and bow ties for both sexes. The colours were mostly neutral tones with shades of baby pink, yellow and blue thrown into the mix.
Earlier this year, the founder and creative director of the eponymous brand granted Style Rave an exclusive interview in which he opened up on the struggles of being a designer in a unique market like Nigeria. You can read the full interview in our interviews section.
For its SS17 showing, Deji Eniola made sense of the ‘see now buy now’ trend which is one thing almost everyone who goes to a fashion show these days wishes for. So get your wallets ready as you have a look at his collection. The collection will be available for online soon on the Deji Eniola website.
