    Nigerian fashion brand, JReason by designer & stylist Olajide Adedeji recently showcased in Tanzania, at the 2015 Swahili Fashion Week.

    The brand represented Nigeria at the show, showcasing their new collection – “Renaissance“. From the conventional blazers to a bold use of silk, lace and chiffon blends, the brand has evolved to greater artistic values with this collection. “Renaissance” is also inspired by the firece woman and the uncontending man.

    According to Olajide – “It is for the woman who turns heads as she walks into a hall, who gets whistles of approval. It is for the youth who engages class and embraces the classic ‘regrette rien’ mantra.‎ ‘Bold’ and ‘fierce’ is the Renaissance way.“

    See the collection showcase below;
