"SUBTLE GLAMOUR" SPRING 2013 READY TO WEAR COLLECTION BY MAKI OH

The collection consists of fringe blouses and skirts, see-through dresses for a subtle sheer look, graphic printed tops and skirts as well as lace blouses. While the label’s famous clients include American singer and DJ Solange Knowles, actress Leelee Sobieski and Nigerian TV presenter Eku Edewor, our fashion instincts tell us we will probably see more style stars both home and abroad rocking one of the label’s pieces from the collection this year. 

 According Style.com‘s Maya Singer, Maki Oh’s pieces are beautifully tailored, feminine, and elegant yet idiosyncratically modern. She knows how to make unexpected juxtapositions convincing.

 The collection was displayed at the Arise African Icons Collective during New York Fashion Week 2012 in September, the label’s creative director, Maki Oh raises the extraordinary from the ordinary making use of local African fabrics including Adire.
