LFDW 2014 Fashion Focus Finalist, Omowunmi Owonifari of Mofari presents her S/S2015 Collection – “Avatar”

This fashion label was one of the top 15 Fashion Focus finalists at the GTBank Lagos Fashion & Design Week for 2014 and they are back with a colourful and whimsical collection.

From womenswer label, Mofari, we present a Spring/Summer 2015 collection titled “Avatar“.

According to the designer, Omowunmi Owonifari – “It was only natural that I reflected on what I had learnt as a person and as a designer.” Her reflection ties in with the Avatar of a tree which she translates through patience, perseverance and persistence – which are also the ethos of the Mofari fashion label.

Featuring model Ndidi Odogwu, the collection plays with various elements – from red kisses & half-capes to lace overlays and tropical prints. We love its fun vibe that plays to character and style.

Lookbook: Deola By Deola Sagoe’s S/S 2015 Collection Tagged “Wings By Deola”

 According to Deola Sagoe, “Developing my own fabrics is essential for me. Every time you do it, it’s fresh; the drawings, the process of making Adire, starting with indigo and then just making music with colour and patterns, “fabric jazz”.

I wanted to play with floaty fabrics this time. It was just my mood. Of course I’m still in the throws of my love affair with Aso Oke which is still a huge feature in this collection."

“Wings by Deola” consists of 37 pieces whose names were derived from the characters in Shakespeare’s plays such as, Ophelia (the helper), Valeria (strong, valiant) and Juno (protector). The collection for Spring/Summer 2015 features detailed cut-outs, sheer fabric inserts, plunging necklines and more tying into the origami-theme.
