Onalaja, Autumn / Winter 2018

Onalaja Autumn / Winter 2018 at Lagos Fashion Week 2018 A/W Presentations. The Nigerian designer’s collection “Noire”pays homage to black women and the ideology that it is “beautiful to be black.” Black is also the colour of power, honour, grace and authority. Power can be drawn from the way in which each garment is symbolically turned into a “paramilitary uniform”
Founded in 2014 by Kanyinsola Onalaja. Onalaja aims to create a form of communication and interaction that fuses the designer’s Nigerian heritage and flair for the artisanal craftsmanship with Italian design aesthetics and the formality of British fashion
