Sweet Dreams!! Womenswear Brand O’Milua By Olajumoje Ademilua Unveils Its Resort 2016 “Dream” Collection
Designer Olajumoje Ademilua of womenswear label O’milua presents her new Resort 2016 collection, titled “Dream“.
It was inspired by a woman who slept in Lagos and woke up in the Mediterranean, she decides she has to make a new life for herself and blend her African roots with that of the sultry Mediterranean.
The collection features pieces made from a traditional tie-dye method called ‘aidre’. This is cool simple silhouettes that have tropical printss in blue and white hues. It also has other colours like white and zesty lemon.
Speaking on her new collection and why she created it Jumoke, “Sometimes I find myself dreaming of another life. What it would be like living somewhere with an entirely different culture from what I’ve been used to. Personally, I’ve always admired the Japanese culture and Mediterranean lifestyle, or somewhere hot and exotic like Morocco. At other times I’ve fancied living somewhere close to the beach on some Caribbean island. But in all, I’ve always imagined different versions of me living in these rich and diverse cultural locations.
Lately, I’ve had the urge to explore the Mediterranean lifestyle, where I’m always imaging what it’s like living somewhere in Santorini Greece, Venice, or some small village in the Mediterranean. Even though I haven’t had the opportunity to go experience the Mediterranean lifestyles, I thought what better way to experience it than through a collection. I must confess, the entire process of making this resort collection really got me even more obsessed about moving away, and living an understated lifestyle somewhere in some small village in Italy.”
We’re sure you’ll love this collection just as much as we do.
