LOOKBOOK: Washington Roberts Presents “Kintinkantan” 2016 Collection! We Love It!

Originally debuted at the Heineken Lagos Fashion & Design Week 2015, we present Washington Roberts‘ new collection titled – “Kintinkantan“. Check out the collection showcase here.

The designer shared the inspiration for his collection via Instagram saying – “This season, I explored the idea of graphic and geometric shapes through an African lens. Using the Adinkra Symbol, “KINTINKANTAN” which means PUFFED UP EXTRAVAGANCE as the focal point of the collection, allowed me to lavish the Washington Roberts woman in the splendour of Demi-Couture.

“Adinkra cloths” were traditionally worn only by royalty, translating this element into wearerbility for today’s woman was important during the development of the collection. COLLABORATING with our Italian fabric weavers, we created custom geometric jacquard, double face twill jacquard with silk organza, silk/wool and pantent leather. Transformation, extravagance, and elegance personifies the inspirations behind the collection.“
