Masters, Landlords and Bosses by Kelechi Odu

Masters, Landlords and Bosses

Kelechi Odu, Boss or Master?

Saturday evening, last minute announcement, Kelechi Odu is presenting his autumn/winter fashion collection under the title "Masters, Landlords and Bosses" in reference to the traditional clothing of british aristocracy of the past centuries. Iconic elements of traditional clothing were re-interpreted with new materials - a lot of transparency - like a veil of the past put on modern clothes.
The rather stately theme seemed to me a natural choice for Kelechi who likes to upset conventions and mischieviously question the established order (his signature is the neckless shirt, looking as if someone had just torn its neck to breath better).
He used transparent material to provide colours and texture to jackets, shirts, robes and waistcoats. The lightness of the fabric is well adapted to Lagos hot and humid weather. He also produced some ruffled pieces. A black transparent robe with a white ruffled collar including a bow-tie.
My favourite piece was a white shirt covered by a thin unstructured lace, giving it silvery reflections.
Besides being a talented fashion designer, Kelechi is also an architect and art connoisseur.

my husband could soon be wearing this
