U.M.I.N "Pionners" Collection
I collaborated with Lagos-based fashion house U.M.I.N by Ugo Mozie and Ifeanyi Nwunye on their collection "Pionners". This collection is a celebration of African pioneers in fields across politics, arts and music.
I designed all t-shirts from scratch using Adobe Illustartor and Photoshop
Fela Kuti: This T-shirt is an ode to afrobeat creator and renowned musician Fela Kuti. The t-shirt features a collage of texts and fonts of Fela's most notable and defining singles and albums.
Halie Sellasie: Portrait of Halie Sellasie, the revered and respected emperor of Ethiopia. The shirt celebrates the emperor by using one of his most popular and powerful portraits to portray his royalty and strength. The back of the t-shirt uses a lion crest with the colours of the Ethiopian flag, designed by digital artist "MIKEDAWN" with the lion of "Lion of Judah" text, a popular name used to describe the emperor.
Nelson Mandela: Graphic T-Shirt celebrating Nelson Mandela. The t-shirt features an iconic portrait of Mandela with the text "Madiba: on top, which was a clan name used to celebrate him. His portrait is complemented by a collage of plaques from multiple protests across the globe to demand his release from prison and reinforcement of his anti-apartheid ideologies.
Kwame Nkrumah: This T-shirt celebrates Kwame Nkrumah, the revolutionary and first president of independent Ghana. The t-shirt features a silhouette of Nkrumah with the Ghanaian flag colours of red, yellow and green in the middle of the Ghanaian black flag.
