"Strokes of Thought" by Michael shumaker

Emerging womenswear brand Michael Shumaker releases its Spring/Summer 2015 collection titled 'Stokes of Thought'. The brand which was a finalist of Gtbank’s Lagos Fashion and Design Week "Fashion Focus" category drew its inspiration from the works, techniques, and ideology of two artists, Kenny Odilli a Nigerian Graphic Artist and Vincent Van Gogh the renowned dutch painter.

According to the Creative Director, Michael the collection is about "my fascination at how similar and at the same time how different both curators works, style and techniques were. Given that both artists represent entirely different times, regions and they had a completely different perspective to achieving incredible art."

The Collection features a good blend of the artsy and the commercial with a mix of Street wear and High Fashion Garments in Vibrant and Subtle color Palettes, Hand Cut-Out Details and Hand Painted designs, following the techniques of the two artists.
