“What do you think will define S/S 2012 for you?
We dug deep into our roots and crafted a story that formed the basis of our collection – it is woven into each garment, the fabrics and the accessories. I believe the things that will define us this season are our uniquely stunning prints – particularly “the dancing women” – the story we have told and how we have translated that into a modern womenswear collection.
What can we expect from your collection?
A modern translation of Nigeria in the 60s: using traditional menswear and classic garments or pieces from that era as inspiration to create ultra-feminine pieces for today’s woman. As always you’ll see lots of exquisite hand-embellished ankara pieces (our signature) and of course our custom-made luxurious prints, which have been personalised for our inspiration. We’ve also expanded our accessories line with different types of belts and beaded bags.”Jewel by Lisa/Arise
