Oba Obirin (The Woman King)

Inspired by the majestic grandeur of a Yoruba queen or woman king, this breathtaking 3-piece ensemble embodies the essence of Nigerian nobility. The outfit’s striking color palette features bold red, midnight blue, and rich wine hues, expertly crafted from luxurious velvet and traditional Aso Oke fabrics.

The outerwear piece is a stunning, full-length kimono-style velvet coat, boasting wide, rounded sleeves finished with a midnight blue velvet hem and dramatic midnight blue tassels. A bold strip of midnight blue Aso Oke runs across the chest, infusing the design with elegance and strength.

Beneath the kimono lies a futuristic interpretation of the traditional Iro and Buba, crafted from intricate wine and blush pink Aso Oke. This reimagined classic strikes a perfect balance between tradition and innovation, exuding regal sophistication.

This show-stopping ensemble is a testament to the enduring legacy of Yoruba royalty — where heritage meets couture for an unforgettable look.
