After stepping away from sewing for two years to focus solely on design and my personal evolution within fashion, an incredible opportunity found its way to me. A dear friend invited me to collaborate with a visionary photographer working on an editorial for Vogue Italia—and what we created together was nothing short of magic.
Vogue Italia - As the Spirit Leads, by Wami Aluko
The editorial draws deep inspiration from Yoruba spiritual traditions, both in Nigeria and across the diaspora.
In these practices, dance is more than movement—it's a sacred ritual, a powerful medium through which the physical and metaphysical worlds intertwine.
This project allowed us to channel that energy, celebrating heritage, rhythm, and the divine essence that lives in motion.
