Here’s a new take on the traditional ‘owambe’ look.
Created by jewelry designer Gbenga Dada of Artsmith Collections; with makeup by Talking Faces and photography by Dipo Orimoloye, the shoot translates the traditional look popular in the Yoruba wedding culture to an avant garde look.
The shoot features themes of high fashion, artsy expressions and African-inspired elements.
Check it out.

I really like the neck pieces, but the blush was too much of a distraction.
Nice one but @Derry exactly the blush was just a distraction.
Less is more… too much going on the face
Love the beads
The neck pieces are extremely elegant.
where is the avant garde? what is so avant garde about this. pls stop miss using words. I got my hopes up when i saw the headline “avant garde” only to open and be disappionted.
OVERALL, I LOVE WHAT I SEE.
Overall, I will score 80%. I can’t find the blush as distractions as some said.
Yes o!
We Gele.
Lovely lovely piece of necklace she is got on . But lo to ooooo blush plenty ooo.
The model’s make up is distracting how gorgeous the neckpieces are.
