LAGOS FASHION WEEK 2023- GREEN ACCESS FINALIST

Date:

AJANEE

Ajanee- Featuring pieces from our 01-24 “wrapper studies” to be released later. We explored the idea of duality as a facet of self-expression through the pillars of extension, opposition, and cohesion reflected in the pieces with the representation of layers and elements that are extensions or oppositions of seemingly whole piece which all sums up to a cohesive state as a reflection of one entity.

DUST OF THE EARTH

Dust of the Earth- This collection Tales by Moonlight is a re-enactment of a part of my childhood memories as a Kid in Nigeria. One of which happened Every Sunday night. My siblings, neighbors and I would gather around the TV in the living room (on the floor, to simulate the experience as was on TV) in anticipation of Tales by Moonlight, which was shown on a TV station called NTA (Nigerian Television Authority). Tales by Moonlight was this amazing kid show where the “Aunty” (an older lady) would tell folktales (taken from the different ethnic groups in Nigeria) to a group of girls and boys gathered around her on the floor listening to her wonderful tales. It was set in a village, and as the name suggests, the tales were told at night. It would start with one of my favorite lines:

                                      Aunty: Story, Story
                                      Children: Story
                                      Aunty: Once Upon a Time
                                      Children: Time, Time

And then the “aunty” would begin her story, and we would all be magically transported to the story world, where actors would re-enact these wonderful tales. Being folktales, there were many animal roles – Mr. Tortoise always made an appearance – and by the end of the story we would learn the “moral of the story”.  It was a beautiful collection of repurposed denim, shoe laces, jogger pants, socks, and other fabrics.
