Fashion in Motion at the V&A
Fashion in Motion is a series of live fashion shows at V&A South Kensington, featuring leading fashion designers from across the world. August's show will see Orange Culture showcasing their signature universal silhouettes in eye-catching, vibrant designs.
Worn by names such as Ncuti Gatwa, Kelly Rowland, Lupita Nyongo and Dua Lipa, Orange Culture is known for its bold, androgynous clothing that can be worn by anyone. The brand's creator, Nigerian-born designer Adebayo Oke-Lawal, defines it as a movement as well as a clothing-line, using his pieces to confront hypermasculinity, injustice and suppressed expressions of Africanism.
With a strong commitment to community development, Orange Culture's materials are ethically sourced from Nigerian fabric makers, and pieces are crafted with great care and integrity by a team of rigorously trained local staff. Fabric sourcing is environmentally conscious, manufacturing procedures produce zero-to-little waste, and revamp programmes encourage customers to bring a garment back for updates.
