The SS25 collection from Orange Culture takes us on a poignant journey, exploring the themes of movement, memory, and the idea of home. At its core, this line reflects the impact of urban migration, where the emotional experience of leaving familiar places and forging new homes is thoughtfully woven into the designs.
Creative Director Adebayo Oke-Lawal draws from his personal memories and lived experiences, infusing the collection with a rich tapestry of emotional depth and introspection. The artisanal craftsmanship featured throughout, from handmade flower appliqués to intricate beading, symbolizes the stories of family, childhood, and the connections that anchor us, even in the face of change.
Each piece in the SS25 collection captures the emotional complexities of migration, evoking a range of sentiments – from longing and nostalgia to the comfort and security found in the memories we carry. Oke-Lawal poses thought-provoking questions about the very nature of home and the personal belongings that accompany us on our journeys, as exemplified by his own cherished recollections of a childhood garden.
This collection from Orange Culture invites us to explore the intimate landscapes of human experience. The striking prints and bold designs in the SS25 line honor the idea that no emotion or memory, no matter how fragmented or distant, should be overlooked. Fashion here becomes a powerful tool for navigating complex personal and emotional themes, reflecting the myriad ways our stories intersect with identity and place.
The accompanying jewelery, designed by Nigerian brand Lois Regalia, complements the nostalgic and emotional undertones of the SS25 designs. Together, these pieces form a narrative of movement, memory, and the ongoing search for home, encouraging the wearer to find solace and meaning in their own experiences.
