Duro Olowu Spring/Summer 2012 Presentation.

Duro Olowu’s presentation  at Milk Studios evoked so much ”free-spirit” both from the models and from the pieces, the prints on prints genius who mentioned in his interview with MilkMade to have been inspired by the works of photographer, Jacques Henri Lartigue & ‘The Windrush‘- this being the migration of the Islanders into the United Kingdom; the inspiration came more from how glam they’d still manage to look despite the situation at the time.

Doing what he does best, Duro pulled off yet another collection selectively clashing prints and overlaying soft separates , vintage styling without a doubt with some floral madness plus more. We would say we did sight some gypsy influences on some of the pieces, art work influences too. The supposed perfect LBD Mr. Olowu threw in the collection had the most unusual floral influx but we absolutely love it. Pink & ‘Okra Green’ were strong colours on the night. In one sentence, the collection unveiled women that were VERY dressed up but showed off freedom in character – The kind of woman Duro Olowu aimed at defining for this collection.
