Belois Couture, a two-time Lagos Fashion and Design Week alumni who first showed at the Pan-African fashion week as a British Council X LFDW Fashion Focus
finalist. Since then, the brand has gone on to position itself as a
burgeoning contemporary womenswear brand that continues to shift the
paradigm of how contemporary African women dress. Additionally, Belois
couture was bestowed with the honor of opening this season’s
Spring/Summer 2016 Lagos Fashion and Design Week to a critical press
success.
For Fall 2017, Omon Isinugben
– Designer at Belois was majorly inspired by her childhood days in
primary school and some of her teachers who she remembers as having had a
stately elegance about them. “They wore the most dainty shift dresses, yet they were able to inform my childhood and command respect from me” she says.
To this regard, Omon Isinugben
re-imagines what primary school teachers dressed like back-in-the-day
with a modern twist for her next season woman. The collection is
characterized by satin, chiffon, crepe and organza in clean lines, earth
and warm tones with a lot of pleating and layering as well as flares
and volume for exaggerated silhouettes.
