“I DON’T FOLLOW trends,” Duro Olowu says. “I’m inspired by the world.” Coming from a designer whose patchwork empire-waisted “Duro” dress has been a hit since its 2004 Barneys debut and spawned an ethnic-bohemian pattern-overload collection coveted by Michelle Obama and Solange Knowles, it is a bit of an understatement. The 50-year-old Olowu’s clothes are an artful mash-up of his background: Raised in sophisticated circles in Lagos by a Nigerian father and a Jamaican mother, he spent childhood summers in Geneva, went to Canterbury University and lived for a year and a half in Paris, inspired by his heroes like Azzedine Alaïa. His mother mixed Yoruba tops with YSL Rive Gauche scarves; his Caribbean cousins sported reggae chic. “My path was not straightforward,” says Olowu, who first sketched clothes as a 6-year-old. “It’s made me open to things, able to see things in a certain way.”

A lawyer in London until he launched his line 11 years ago, he met his wife, Thelma Golden, the gamine director of the Studio Museum in Harlem, soon after she contacted him to have a Duro dress made. They split their time between New York and London, where in his boutique the clothes are displayed amid 1960s photographs of Mali beatniks, necklaces made from small brass hands that once hung off royal horses in Morocco and books on Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin.

Lately, Olowu has extended his reach into the art scene. A lifelong collector of photography, ceramics and decorative objects, last year he curated “More Material” at Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn’s Salon 94 Bowery gallery on the Lower East Side, a vibrant assemblage of his own designs, antique African costumes and the work of more than 60 artists, including Rachel Feinstein and Laurie Simmons. The artists, he says, “have inspired me to design with sincerity and emotion

i know you don't know what a conglomerate is.

Doublecheck:
Igbo's better bear in mind and note that Afonjas don't know what a group or conglomerate is. The only time Afonjas group is when they gather in unison to rape or commit incest or crime, for example Badoo group of companies owned by Alaka oil and gas co.

So Afonja deomello before you check a dictionary to know what group or conglomerate mean let me know what you think about my automated face scratching app, for proud scratched face Afonjas who want instant and automatic scratch alert on their face.

Will Afonja download this app?

raker300:
let me sink to your level a bit and indulge you for once.

Don't you see the word "group" there?

See this unimportant Osu called Doublecheck. Who stole her? I never said she is not Igbo. I only pointed out to you that she is married to a Yoruba man, called Bode Pedro. Now, hug a transformer with wet hands or jump into the lagoon if it pains you so much! Anuofia! Onye eberibe. Ekwensu, ndi aghala!

Please can you share your Afonja scratched face bank alert for us since you are proud of it. It turns out you will be a wealthy scratched face son

Uche Pedro, wife of Bode Pedro.

Illiterate afonja it appears you missed this post which happens to be the reason Afonjas think they can compete with Ndigbo

-------

Afonjas are so rich that they scratch their bank balance on their face and that of their children

It is common to see them write in Roman figure, Binary and numbers some Afonja balance are;

111, 111,111 (One hundred and one million, one hundred and one thousand, one hundred and one, only)
111, 111,111,111 (One hundred and one billion, One hundred and one million, one hundred and one thousand, one hundred and one, only) etc.

I bet if they had enough space on their face they would write it in words so my Igbo brothers this is why Afonjas think they can compete with Ndigbo, because of the bank balance their fathers scratch on their faces.

See pictorial evidence below. (So my Igbo brothers take it easy with them they were mislead by their fathers)

Now Afonja scratched face kindly share you scratched facial balance with us.
