Duro Olowu

Duro Olowu's aesthetic is perhap best described as West Coast meets Upper East Side, mixing up classic, even conservative shapes with the acidic colour and clashing pattern found in the costumes of Nigeria, his birthplace. This reason was no exception: despite a sea of subdued colour on other runways, his opening outfits confidently juxtaposed cyclamen, lapiz and lime, the vibrancy giving new energy to the well-traversed Rich Hippy theme.
