[quote author=deomello post=59151063][/quote]Amaka Osakwe studied at the Arts University Bournemouth where she received a BA in fashion studies. In autumn/winter 2010 she launched her label. Inspired by rural Ghana’s Dipo rites-of-passage ceremony, during which girls taking part are partially naked and ornately adorned, Osakwe has played with cloaking and ornamentation using traditional African fabrics.[3] Recently her label was discovered by the U.S. fashion scene in 2012, when she presented her designs at the New York Fashion Week.[4] She relates the legacy of their country with one, if they dyed their brands by hand with indigo leaves and painted the pattern with a paste made from cassava. Adire is the traditional method.

International stars such as singers Beyoncé and Rihanna or Hollywood actress Kerry Washington have worn outfits by the Nigerian designer outfits. U.S. First Lady, Michelle Obama, well-known being a style icon, wore during summer 2013 trip to South Africa a blouse of Nigerian designer Maki Oh.[5][6] Her designs also have been worn by the likes of Solange Knowles and Leelee Sobieski and by Nigerian TV presenter Eku Edewor, and are sold internationally through Farfetch.com, and in United States at the McMullen boutique in Oakland.

One signature of her brand is that it's dyed by hand using the traditional textile arte process Adire. Another is her way of combining Western silhouettes and native materials and motifs—to wit, a lace-blouse-and-pencil-skirt set appliquéd with unsettling raffia eyeballs.[8]

She was named Designer of the Year by African fashion magazine ARISE.

Amaka Osakwe, The Nigerian Fashion Designer

Today, I am looking at female fashion designers on the African continent. We have lots of great designers emerging from Africa and making headlines in the world of fashion internationally. And i want to look at this young and talented designer from Nigeria...,she is so talented that the first lady of the United States of America Michelle Obama had to wear a piece of her designs. Her name is Amaka Osakwe. Her label is called Maki Oh and this label is really breaking grounds in the fashion industry. Back in 2013, Michelle Obama wore a shirt designed by Amaka when she was on African tour.

Amaka Osakwe was born in 1987. She studied Art at Bournemouth University where she received a BA in fashion studies. She launched her label in 2010 but it was back in 2012 when her label was discovered by the U.S fashion scene when she presented her designs at the New York Fashion week.

She has dressed Hollywood celebrities such as Beyonce, Rihanna, Kerry Washington, Michelle Obama and Solange Knowles. Her band signature is the combination of Western silhouettes and the native materials but mostly its the material that is hand dyed using the traditional textile Arte process Adire.

The funniest part is that one pasted bambata as a company and another pasted a boutique as a company! clear the way let me just faint. They call expert photographers to take pictures for them and they make it look as if they do anything more than retailing in the place. If we start retailing pictures here, you will not see this thread again. I bet you.

People who could steal, Toyota, Nissan, Tata, proforce, Procter and gamble, Guinness, Next Towers, Niger Delta oil, is it common Dr. Brown that they will not steal with ease and sleep well. My brother Afonjas Osus are renowned in the act of thievery, I hope you are familiar with the Oba Eze that faked his own kidnap? What do you call that, if not royal kidnap. Their crime is novel and royal, the beat Igbo in that one hands down.

Duro Olowu, Inspired by the World

“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

America's First Lady Michelle Obama's holiday wardrobe this year includes a vibrant, patchwork, folkloric dress by the London-based Nigerian designer, Duro Olowu. The dress, a funky, layered, smock-style, features at least five different silk prints.
