Imole Is The Spring/Summer 2022 Collection From Designer Irawo

he word ‘Imole’ translates to ‘light’ in the Yoruba language of south western Nigeria. When Imole comes, darkness goes away. For its Spring/Summer 2022 collection, Nigerian fashion brand, Irawo took this literally as it showcased a bright collection inspired by tropical islands. This is well-fitting as Lagos, the city that it calls home, is a coastal city that boats beautiful beaches, island as well as sunshine.

Of course, Irawo isn’t the only one who gets enthralled into this fine world of sky and sand as dreamy islands loom large in our collective daydreams. Close your eyes and you will likely conjure up images of the perfect island paradise: a sweep of sugary white sand fringed by palm trees and the glittering ocean. Even just uttering the word “island” or “beach” can bring a smile to your face and lighten up your mood. Indeed the collection has the same effect as its splatters of colors, patterns and details is undoubtedly refreshing.
