This Spring/Summer 2009 line was inspired by the power struggle in Nigeria concerning the precious resource of the crude oil. The aesthetics of the garments contain elements that the MEND militants wear. This reflected my exploration of the power struggle not only in concerns with the Niger Delta, but also the larger scheme of sustainable fabrics (most of those included are remnants from larger company’s left overs), traditional elements such as the 80’s power shoulders, and the impact of a man in a suit.
Loose fitting deep v-neck striped collar and lapel with front button fly closure. Front and back darts and tucks at waist with side seam pockets that are shaped like mini contrast lapels.
