Amrita’s paintings inspired Duro Olowu @duroolowu

The London Fashion Week for 2015 kicked off last week, and London-based Nigerian designer Duro Olowu showcased his collection for Spring/Summer 2016.  S/S 2016 is inspired by the life and work of the 1930 Indian painter, Amrita Sher Gil,
Duro Olowu, who designed his first dress in 2005 and was named the British Fashion Awards New Designer of the Year in the same year; is known in the African & International fashion industry as a master of mixing and matching prints. It is all about using Amrita’s paintings as the basis for the printed pieces.
