MOWALOLA

Born of Central Saint Martins graduate Mowalola Ogunlesi's unique sense of identity, her ability to expertly combine elements of Nigerian culture with cityscape glamor, Mowalola consistently combines maximalist flare with deconstructivism in women's ready-to-wear, filtered through the lens of neo-psychedelia. Fishnet dresses and leather trousers integrate shades of eroticism into club culture. Hypnotic graphic patterns in the brand's womenswear evoke the psychedelic side of retro-futurism, combining 1980s commercial excess with the enduring influence of African psychedelia at the center of the brand's first collection. Intriguingly digesting a chaotic, sometimes conflicting reference point, the impressive results of Mowalola's cross-cultural experience position the brand as a catalytic new voice in the contemporary womenswear debate.
