Theme, Costume & Style Direction đ
Believe it or not, this curation began as far back as June 2024! (Yes, a whole year ago.)
It started with the collation of A*o Oke pieces from different cupboards and chests, which were then creatively styled by us and sewn to fit.
It was born from excitement over the beauty of A*o Oke and inspired by the stunning A*o Oke costumes in movies such as House of GAA by the gifted Bolanle Austen-Peters Seven Doors by Femi Adebayo and AnĂkĂșlĂĄpĂł by Kunle Afolayan
Gudo is royalty, and her coming into the fullness of this reality was beautifully portrayed in this shoot by the talented Tomisin âpaired with the playful tagline, âShow me your 32 oh o!â, culled from a song and artist who had a viral presence during her childhood. A peek at the original video of that song reveals, once again, the creative styling of A*o Oke.
Turning 32 is no small milestone, so we chose to celebrate this smiling royaltyâdrawing inspiration from the Yoruba influence in her upbringing, her Christly royalty, Lagbajaâs timeless admonition to smile, and her shining 32!
