This week we’re featuring a little-known designer to our shores but his work speaks for itself so it compelled me to convey it to you or share it. Orange culture is the name of the brand and the designer is Adebayor Oke-Lawal a life-lover from Nigeria. His work is all about the celebration of colour and complexity. For him colour represents this complexity in people which is a burst of energy. Penned as more than just a label, the brand has now become a lifestyle, being endorsed by international media in the form of Vogue UK and local Nigerian stars alike.
In just a matter of a couple of years, the designer has managed to catapult the line into what it is today and that is largely because he has been designing since the age of ten so fashion is his passion so he is merely living out a dream, and it’s a beautiful representation of creativity. From Orange Culture there are three collections out do far, namely, Summer Quirk, which is a line that was initially created for a model search show in Nigeria. After that we find elusive strength and The Heartbroken. The collections are beautiful and their site really delves in deeper to the philosophy behind the designs.
