Arise Africa Fashion Week: Ade Bakare
Posted on Thursday, June 18th, 2009 at 8:26 pmBy Ijeoma Ndekwu
Nigerian designer, Ade Bakare’s collection diffuses from a colourful palette to a toned down white one. He features lots of designs with long sleeves and embroidery details, and in true Ade Bakare fashion, quite a number of sweep coats.
His colourful pieces have an ethnic feel to them; with is translated with textures like velvet and interestingly patterned fabrics. The white pieces are a lot more elegant and classic. With simple cuts and ultra feminine details which play on glamourising and defining the feminine frame.
