The Orisa Collection by the Nigerian eponymous fashion brand Badesere has finally been unveiled. The collection which is named after a
deity of the Yoruba people of southwestern Nigeria climaxes the ankara
fabric.
The Orixa Collection which features a glittering array of pret-a-porter pieces including
pants with sheer detailing, sheer shirts and tank tops to match.
According to the creative director Badesere, “the Orisa collection was
inspired by the awakening of consciousness, the love of self, and the
whole acceptance of my Africanism. Before now, we have been taught that
our gods are useless, and that our traditions are hostile and barbaric,
while in true sense it’s full of life and lessons.
The sheer represents our source of livelihood in the riverine area of
Lagos, which is our fishing net, while the Ankara embodies our identity
as Africans.”
