His latest release, “Alagidi,” showcases the brand’s position as one of the leading designers in Nigeria. This new collection is a celebration of African heritage, craftsmanship, and creativity.
According to Omole, “Alagidi,” which means “the strong-hearted,” was created as a summer collection with an inspiration from summer itself, which is associated with vibrant energy. The collection features skull prints as imagery for people with strong will, ready to overcome challenges in life. It is a combination of beach shorts and shirts.
