Featured Designer: Post Imperial
You might remember in our last post about the new Janet Jackson music video, we mentioned a Nigerian brand called Post Imperial whose pieces were used in the video. I am a real fan of this brand as they use Adire (batik and tie dye) fabric from Nigeria. I also love the fact that it is a menswear brand. Who says women get to have all the fun with colour and fashion?!. Here is their mission statement below. Do check out their work and get inspired.
