“For the upcoming O.N.S x Niyi Okuboyejo capsule, the designer took inspiration from the prolific Senegalese painter, poet, sculptor and playwright, Issa Samb. Samb was a towering figure in modern African Art, and his works have been displayed in gallery exhibitions all over the world. Issa passed away in 2017, but his avant garde Laboratorie Agit’Art movement is still alive and thriving.”
“Dubbed ‘For Issa,’ the collection channels Samb’s eccentric style and inimitably flamboyant aesthetic. Highlight pieces include a striking kimono-collar puffer jacket with impressive patchwork detail, quilted blazers/shirting adorned with West African prints, two-tone chunky turtlenecks made from fine merino wool, and an upscale athleisure assortment of comfy joggers and sweatshirts.”
