Abaya Lagos’ New Collection Lookbook - “Desert Bloom”

Emerging fashion brand Abaya Lagos releases her new collection lookbook which is so ethereal dreamy. The collection features fast rising model, Banke Su wearing gorgeous turbans and handmade abayas made from silks and velvet fabrics.

According to the creative director, Salihat Rahaman, “Each unique piece has an added feel of elegance and luxury to it. Colors and textures are reminiscent of age-old Africa as well as Middle-Eastern Royalty; hence the theme Ottoman meets Nubia. I find that I can change/ upgrade my look drastically but effortlessly with a single item off the collection, (either an abaya or turban), turning a regular outfit into something exotic and expensive looking. Bad hair days become a breeze using the turbans, and as an added advantage, I look chic and elegant while still covered up in all the “important” places. This gives me the utmost comfort and confidence. We want customers from different backgrounds to feel comfortable wearing Abaya Lagos merchandise regardless of cultural or religious tie. “
