We love it when emerging designers come
out with strong debut collections because that will determine the tone
they set for their entry into the fashion world. For Nigerian Designer Wunmi Akinsola, entering strong is definitely what was on her mind when she created her label – Pearls and Portraits‘ debut collection.
The designs are inspired by picturesque
prints each telling a story through each piece. The inspirations vary
from pearl divers to jewellery shop front windows and more. The
London-based label created printed tailored garments with luxury fabrics
embroidered with gold detailing and Wunmi created some of the prints
from her photography, paintings and drawings.
The aesthetic is based off of the
elegant female who loves bold statement designs. The tailored shapes and
retro prints can transform seamlessly from day to night and we are
loving all the pieces. Check it out!
