Designer & Filmmaker, Dafe Oboro & Bryan Okwara
Vlisco & co is back for a 3rd edition since its inception in 2017. The event, which was held at the renowned Terra Kulture in Victoria Island Lagos on Thursday, 18th July, saw a cross section of guests entertained as they celebrated some of Nigeria’s underdogs in the creative space.
Vlisco&co collaborated with 3 three young Nigerians, Dafe Oboro, with his short film, “A Beautiful Struggle”, alongside Papa Oyeyemi and Abiola Olusola’s fashion presentation.
Dafe Oboro’s film explored his perspective of the beauty of the streets of Lagos, his home city, through a fashionable portrait that follows a small town man’s pursuit of stardom across in the city of Lagos, as he also explores his passion for music.
Part of this year’s edition gave room for an interactive discussion between showcasing creative talent and Tushar Hathimarani to debate the theme of Dafe’s film and the inspiration behind the designers’ collection, moderated by Lola Pedro, Africa Regional Director at TrendWatching.
