Duro Olowu delivered a plethora of color and pattern that were combined into a visual feast for spring 2009.
Inspired by West African masquerades and the film Black Orpheus, prints and accessories had a tribalism to them. Colorfully bold prints were worked into sweeping gowns and patch-worked in other areas.
Despite all this visual commotion the silhouettes were classic and chic as Olowu’s cut allow the clothes to be wearable. Just not for the timid.
