She showcased pieces that echoed the spirit of modern-day activism. Her designs featured a mix of patterns, oversized silhouettes, and structured tailoring, all interwoven with intricate details that paid homage to her roots in both the UK and Nigeria.
The collection’s color palette oscillated between muted earthy tones and vibrant pops of color, creating a striking contrast that mirrored the social activism her work often embraces. This season, her designs carried subtle yet powerful statements that resonated with a generation seeking fashion with meaning—messages like “I’m not English, I’m British” and “Japa Syndrome” woven into the pieces.
