Deola Sagoe Releases Her S/S 2015 Collection, “Wings By Deola” .

Deola Sagoe was inspired to put together this collection by her daughter’s school project about moths, flies and butterflies. The collection “explores the intricacy of these visually stunning and magical creatures” and the lookbook reflects the magical feel.

According to Deola, “Developing my own fabrics is essential for me. Every time you do it, it’s fresh; the drawings, the process of making Adire, starting with indigo and then just making music with colour and patterns, “fabric jazz”.

I wanted to play with floaty fabrics this time. It was just my mood. Of course I’m still in the throws of my love affair with Aso Oke which is still a huge feature in this collection.“

“Wings by Deola” consists of 37 pieces whose names were derived from the characters in Shakespeare’s plays such as, Ophelia (the helper), Valeria (strong, valiant) and Juno (protector). The collection for Spring/Summer 2015 features detailed cut-outs, sheer fabric inserts, plunging necklines and more tying into the origami-theme.

Sculpted silhouettes, cut outs akin to flower petals, a pallet of gently contrasting purple and yellow, indigo and pink are the signatures of this collection. The effect- the feeling that they could be fairies turned human, lost at night in a garden maze.

The colorful disposition and laid back transition into spring brings life just like her collection entails.
