AND THE PARTYING WENT NORTH COLLECTION
Baban Riga Re-envisioned
Adding a twist to the baba riga (Agbada)’s embroidery on robe, we created a robe and this time, the embroidery was done inside on a waistcoat which is visible through the wide ova cut neckline of the robe.
You can also wear the waistcoat and the pants alone as a two piece like in the second slide.

AND THE PARTYING WENT NORTH collection.
We drew inspiration from the traditional and cultural fabrics, regalia, hand embroidery techniques, beauty ornaments and decorative symbols of the people of middle belt and northern Nigeria. We also played with the foundational structure of fabric weaving where we ‘deweaved’ fabrics by removing threads along the weft to create new patterns and detailings in form of fringes.
As a cultural brand that preserves and promotes local craftsmanship, our inspiration gave birth to pieces that transcended geographical cultural boundaries to becoming contemporary with international appeal, creating subculture styles. The signs, symbols and colours of the murals on the tubali of northern Nigeria influenced the prints in the collection and motifs of our hand embroidery which is an age long tradition of detailing fabrics by the Hausas. The hand woven wool fabrics of the Benue people inspired the on loom and some off loom fabric design techniques we employed.
And The Partying Went North collection gives our customers an array of variety to choose from. We got ceremonial pieces, casual and playful designs that are thoughtfully made for men/women and androgynous look.

AND THE PARTYING WENT NORTH COLLECTION

Sweat-Kaftan
Inspired by sweat shirt, we created this long kaftan out of a black linen with elastane fiber. The stretch in the fabric allowed us to make the neckline round. We detailed the kaftan with a rolled up cuff, a gold hand embroidery and a symmetrical slight that whose is visible at the hem.
