JZO’s collection titled, BABATUNDE is inspired by the legendary Yoruba belief of rebirth ‘Atunwa’, which implies that the original essence of our ancestors may indeed be reborn in a new form retaining it’s wisdom. The collection reflects a fabled journey of the Yoruba people from the Nile Valley to South-Western Nigeria.
Staying true to the minimalist aesthetic that has come to define JZO, the BABATUNDE collection comprises what is best described as playful Kaftan/Buba hybrids and smart Agbada pieces with very simple embroidery patterns, graphic necklines in an earth-tone colour palette, a mix of browns punctuated by vibrant shades of blue and burgundy.
