African + Arabian Royalty: Abayalagos Presents ‘Cultured Arabica’ AW18 Collection

665

After rocking the runway at the 2018 ARISE Fashion Week in Lagos, Nigerian fashion brand, AbayaLagos is releasing its latest collection tagged ‘Cultured Arabica’.

Cultured Arabica is characterized by the use of traditional woven fabric, Aso-oke for the signature capes and flamboyant decorative detail on the sleeves and back of the pieces. The silhouettes depict a structured flow of lines and shapes revealing a bold but seamless mix of Nigerian culture and Arabian opulence.

Jewel tones form the color palette (deep ox-blood, gold, emerald, bronze and antique rose) with rich and precious hues enhanced by neutral and soft tones such as camel, beige and cement grey.
