Koko was an exciting and unknown prospect for me at fashion week. I had heard that I was to expect much. I mean this is a designer from Nigeria, who moved to the UK in her teens and landed up with a Scottish partner. Fusing these influences is always going to be interesting at the very least.
Presenting a narrative of female dominance is never going to upset me. Combine this with some intriguing elements like the smocking details and then slam it with an abstracted digitial tribal print and you definitely have captured my interest.
By keeping the collection focused and high impact, Koko delivered her message powerfully and succinctly and has definitely got our attention. I am excited to see what happens next. One to watch.
