CREATIVE CORNER A stop-in-awe moment to celebrate creatives raising the bar and shape-shifting the aesthetics of an entire culture. #SpellSalutes
“I’m inspired by nature’s textures, patterns and colours for my in-house fashion prints. Some of my garments silhouettes take inspiration from traditional West African clothing, like my silk ruffle wrapper skirt, tunic dress and boubou to name a few. I design for the modern woman, so you’ll find a headwrap teamed with a bomber and drawstring skirt. The #YemziGirl is trend conscious but has a strong sense of individuality and wears what she feels confident and comfortable in.” Elizabeth-Yemi Akingbade, fashion designer (@yemzi)
