The designers of London Fashion Week shined brightly, but one designer stood out to us for many reasons. That designer was Nigeria’s own Kiki Kamanu. Her Spring/Summer 2012 collection, titled “In-Voluntary Addiction” was revealed to the public. The collection features a blend of vibrant prints, chiffons, and hand-embellished art motifs. Her inspiration came from her globe-trotting childhood and multi-cultural upbringing in Lagos by Nigerian and American parents. Kiki Kamanu makes her own rules in the world of fashion and design and her collection showed that from the eye-catching bandeau style bikinis to breathtaking full length gowns. The collection even included a head-wear line called ‘Good Headz’ which featured floppy ’70s inspired hats named after various sun-drenched locations around the world, and a few suede bags from the Kiki Kamanu ‘Arm Kandy’ collection.
