BEST IN SHOW: Duro Olowu Gives Us Global Style And Punchy Prints

Duro Olowu is known for his feminine statement style. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, and now living and designing in London, he is a multicultural fashion designer. Born to a Jamaican mother and a Nigerian father, you see global influences all throughout his work. With his Spring/Summer 2017 collection, which he presented at London Fashion Week, he admits to using late singer Nina Simone as his muse. Perfect, in a time where the rights of Blacks have been ignored, with kimono shapes to fun with fringe and emphasizing bold prints and graphics, he creates a style you can’t look away from.
