In this latest collection, we continue to see a minimalist approach to streetwear with social and political commentary woven into every piece.

For the SS19 collection, titled “Genesis”, it’s all about celebrating the vibrancy of West African youth culture in the 70’s as well as paying homage to legendary African musician/activist Fela Kuti.
