Opulence meets urban sophistication in the heart of Ikoyi, Lagos as Destiny Nwadire‘s latest collection for womenswear brand DNA by Iconic Invanity unfolds like a nocturnal dream.
The collection embodies the aspirational spirit of Ikoyi Club 1938, a bastion of old-world charm, providing a retreat for the well-heeled. In this place, old money meets new ambition and the pursuit of the good life is an art form in itself. On manicured lawns and tennis courts, deals are brokered over gin and tonics as the sun dips below the horizon.
As the night falls, the glitterati descends upon an exquisite blend of pastel hues: blush, petal pink, powder blue, soft mint and buttercup; intricately hand-embellished contemporary day-to-night statement pieces that not only adorn the body but also tell the story of a global African luxury brand and the DNA woman.
According to the brand,
The collection is filled with intricately detailed and structured jackets, dresses, and tops paired with fluid palazzo pants, reimagined for the woman who closes deals on multiple continents.
It exudes an air of exclusivity with traditional hand-woven Aso Oke textiles embroidered with sleek modern cuts, testifying of the designer’s ability to bridge culture and eras.
