Duro Olowu’s international success arises from “a strong visual cross-cultural aesthetic, quality of the cut and the fabric, and an appreciation for the female form.” Olowu masterfully embraces bricolage, vibrantly mixing colors, prints, and textures. He says, “This is how women wear clothes in contemporary Africa…It’s an offbeat, strong aesthetic that influences my work.”
