“What do you think will define S/S 2012 for you?
My S/S12 collection, Labour of Love, takes the trends of bright clashing looks and a refined ladylike silhouette and infuses them with fresh new ideas. It features modern classic cuts and architecture to result in a cutting-edge collection.
What can we expect from your collection?
Labour of Love is a mix of the architecture of Italy with the vibrancy of Africa – in particular Nigeria, which is evident in the choice of colours. Africans are not afraid to embrace bright and eye-catching colours. It’s part of the culture to stand out and I have taken that part of Africa and the architecture of Italy and brought them together in what you’ll be seeing in this collection.” Lanre Da Silva Ajayi/Arise
