Design, Fashion, Stores
After Duro Olowu wooed the world with his fantastic colorful and feminine designs, the fashion world has been waiting for another sensation originating from Africa to take the Fashion world by storm...
His name Is Adeleke Sijuwade,a former model from Nigeria... yesterday HighSnobette got to preview his spring 2009 collection of womens wear called OLORI,at Pieces.
OLORI,Princess in Yoruba was born as Adeleke puts it" out of a series of unfortunate incidents" that made him realise that he was meant to dress women" He has been designing a men's a men's line for a couple of years now ,but his dresses,handmade in Nigeria keep on selling out .
"the OLORI woman is you,her and every woman out there ,I am not consumed by a particular shape or type of woman or a target market a silhouette....I was inspired by Romance,Life,the beautiful colors of the Caribean and Africa.
Talking to Adeleke and his beautiful sister Ronke,you get the sense that creativity not only runs in the family,but that talent is something you either have you don't..Adeleke is entirely self taught..
