Fashion Apocalypse

Kenneth Ize SS22

Once upon a time there began a beautiful fashion house born from Nigerian designer Kenneth Ize. It would evolve into a pivotal collection for African designers and be showcased to the world on the Paris Fashion Week platform. I have been following Ize’s creative process since his debut. This season has the promise of a new dawn where last season it was a transitional collection bearing the weight of the fashion apocalypse due to the 2020 pandemic.

This SS22 collection is distinctively Ize. The use of stripes and checks found in traditional African textiles easily complimenting the modernization of traditional silhouettes. The result is a collection that feels revived, energized and transformed from the previous ones. It truly has been an honor to watch the evolution of Kenneth Ize.

And so this collection became the crown jewel of African design as we all lived happily ever after and celebrated it with exuberance. The end.
