Duro Olovu rarely requires a specific film or exhibition to explain the jumping-off points for its collection. With his encyclopedia cultural knowledge (and the fact that he is usually out to absorb the newest exhibitions and films in the world-so his Instagram is a must, by the way) all this) all this is all just working in his designs by osmosis think for. There is also that he presents his collection in the format of an intimate, salon-style-or in his studio in St. James, or recently in a friend’s stylish apartment in Chelsea-where he is a medium of every look Talks to and does not exceed half a dozen. Editor at a time. Their excellent technical abilities and spontaneous eyes for combination of color and print means that you can happily spend most of the time that is talking about the kick of a pleased trouser or studied by studying a pocket ; Even when you descend down for the most granular details, Olovu always has a lot to say.
Keeping all this in mind, it was interesting that Olovu had more renewed vision this season – a phrase expressed by “elegant rebellion”. (As mentioned by an American editor, it is a mantra that felt on time, currently given that it is best to oppose the magnificent shadow of totalitarianism, while at its level Is not drowning.)

Swish of those flare trousers and print psychedelic clashes- “Grandma takes a journey,” another phrase was Olovu used, not to mention the famous Kings Road Store but instead a real grandmother’s idea on acid. But hot pink crushed velvet and razal-dasal silk brocids and more chaotic twists of diagonal panels that create almost a polymorphic effect, made it feel completely modern. “Women often feel that they are being told what to wear, so you have to be a little rebel and do things in your own way – you have to fuck things a little,” Olovu politely shed his French last state.
You can detect that hypocritical soul in one of Olovu’s main inspirations this season, Self-affected Algerian artist Baya Mahidin, who was brought to Paris at the age of 16, who demonstrated his work in Gallery Magat Was to do, and quickly got fans in Avanta. Titans like Picasso and Andre Bretton. “When I saw her work, there is a fictional element for it, but when you really see women and their expressions, there is a certain determination and a personality,” said Olovu. “This is really where this idea of ’elegant rebellion’ arose.” Hearing of Olovu describes her clothes, it can feel like a series of contradictions – a look can be imaginary, but under the earth, childish but feminine, cruel but beautiful. Still somehow, as he did today, he is always able to fully unite these clear contradictions.
