AIR & STRIPES
SS26
Air & Stripes is a contemporary celebration of Yoruba culture, drawing its creative energy
from the rich tradition of Aso-Oke weaving. The collection pays homage to the striking
stripes, textures, and patterns that define this iconic textile, translating their historical
significance into wearable, modern forms. Inspired by the energy and rhythm of
cosmopolitan summers, particularly in cities like Lagos and London, the collection balances
heritage and urban dynamism, creating pieces that honour tradition while embracing the
vibrancy of city life.
Air & Stripes is more than clothing, it’s a statement of individuality and cultural pride. The
collection offers lightweight, breathable pieces ideal for urban summers, from structured
collared dresses to relaxed joggers and statement accessories. Its versatile, statement-making
designs are perfect for the modern consumer seeking fashion that blends tradition, innovation,
and everyday functionality. With this collection, style meets heritage, allowing customers to
carry culture and craftsmanship into their daily lives.
