For her Spring /Summer 2012 collection, Africa Fashion International Designer of the year winner, Lisa Folawiyo takes us on a voyage back to Nigeria in the 60’s; a time characterized by independence and growth, a time of change and promise. With the emergence of great novelists Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka and the development of musical genres high-life and afro-beat with the masters Victor Uwaifo and Fela Kuti danced and swayed to at soirees; a time when modern architectural influences paved new streets – “Vintage Love” revisits this past, celebrating heritage and culture, as it reworks and reinterprets traditional Nigerian menswear and key pieces within that era into modern female silhouettes.
