The retro collection showcases an array of brightly colored artsy pieces with well-defined cuts.
According to Mariam Afolabi, “This collection evolved from not just gaining inspiration from Frida but also the Italian culture, their dancers and the famous matadors. The headpieces and flower print fabrics used represent Frida’s look and fashion style. The consistent use of red is also a way of emphasizing the inspiration from a rose and the color used mostly by the Italian flamenco dancers”.
