Straight out of Lagos, Nigeria comes Okunoren Twins.
The brand, which carries the CONCEIVED IN AFRICA trademark to highlight its position as a global African brand, uses traditional weaving techniques in their ready to wear menswear collections. For Spring/Summer 2015 Okunoren Twins looked to South West Nigeria for its inspiration, as the focus is on shirting and the ‘Aso Oke’ and ‘Etu’ fabrics are woven using the traditional Yoruba technique. This beautiful detail can be seen on the sleeves and panels on the back. Check out more of this exciting collection below. We are sure to hear more of this brand, which currently already has its own stand alone stores across its home region.

Other UK x Spizoiky.
British independent luxury street wear/lifestyle brand Other UK was founded 2012 and for their new collection #UNIONBLACK they teamed up with model Spizoiky & photographer Lane Doresy. Their urban edge look and feel mixing simplistic luxe with classic street wear is a concept many wish to master and this brand actually do! Not only do the clothes look good, the scenery of the abandoned Canadian school couldn’t have been better. The styling, space and this guy’s hair cut is spot on for inspiration. Other UK say “Bend those rules and push boundaries…” and we agree!
Check them out online & browse among their new styles and for lazy (but – always – stylish) days.
