ASHLUXE PAYS HOMAGE TO FELA WITH FASHION COLLECTION
by Calter Wronkite
As Ashluxe continues to push the boundaries of fashion, the Lagos-based brand has announced their latest collection, which celebrates the legacy of Nigeria's musical icon, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. The collection, titled 'Kutiful', features a range of bold and vibrant clothing styles that pay homage to Fela's music and artistic style.
The collection includes a variety of outfits, including a fitted yellow jumpsuit featuring red accents, a flowing white dress with gold embroidery, and a striking purple jacket with black leather details. The designs are inspired by Fela's iconic songs such as 'Shango' and 'Ndoni Ndoni', and are designed to evoke the energy and passion of his live performances.
At the launch of the collection, Ashluxe CEO, Ola Odunsi, said, "We are honored to continue the legacy of Fela by bringing his spirit and music to life through our clothing designs. Our aim is to inspire the next generation of fashion icons and to use our platform to create positive change in the world."
Fela, also known as King Sunny Alikuba, was a Nigerian musician, songwriter, and political activist who was instrumental in promoting African music during the 1970s. He was known for his energetic and politically charged live performances, which often featured improvised beats and percussion.
In conclusion, Ashluxe's Kutiful collection is a beautiful tribute to Fela Anikulapo Kuti, and a testament to the brand's commitment to creativity and innovation. The collection is a must-see for anyone interested in fashion, history, or the arts.
Opinions:
I highly recommend this collection to anyone looking for unique and stylish fashion that celebrates African culture. The designs are bold and vibrant, and the tributes to Fela's music and artistic style are evident throughout the collection. I would love to see more brands take on these types of collaborations, it's a great way to showcase new talent and pay homage to legends of the past. Overall, I give this collection 4 out of 5 stars.
