The sky terrace on the 4th floor of Oriental Hotel was the venue of the Maxivive Dry ’19 presentation by Papa Oyeyemi, which introduced another view of fashion to many. The show was to start at 12:45pm but due to the late arrival of guests, which could be blamed on Lagos traffic, it finally started at 2 pm. But before then, a carton brown leaflet was given to each guest as they strolled onto the sky terrace. Written on it was a short story, demystifying the whole vibe of the presentation. A scary soul deep song played in the background as the show started. The models came in, one after the other and arranged themselves asymmetrically. Some carried edibles like watermelon, large yam tubers, plantain/banana bunches, some were empty handed and one carried a large ass basket, like those you see at the market. The model with the basket opened the runway, with a long white robe outfit and a side waist purse. His haircut made him look like a monk but overall, he looked priestly. And as he stood at the end of the runway, facing the start of the runway, he dropped the basket and stood still. Then the others began strutting in, one after the other. Noticing the color hues of each design, from white to cream, from mint greens to grey and then from carton shades to dark tones of brown. The designs screamed simple silhouettes with flattering fabrics which portrayed the garments to its best. The hues reflected the minimalist side to the brand and as a minimalist enthusiast, I was immediately captivated. Those that carried the edibles emptied them into the basket and strutted back to the zone they were at, with emotions on their faces that translated to nothing, literally. The models comprised of 2 females amongst many males and as the show came to an end, the heavily filled basket was lifted by one model at first, and then he staggered. Then another model approached to help and they just couldn’t. Then came another then another and after channeling their strength to lift it up, they carried it to the end of the runway, lifted it up and dropped it with a loud thud. The OKITI collection reflects on burdens carried physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and after series of running through, they fall off one after the other into an unknowing case. But with resilience and unknown bravery, the carrier of the burdens, and with the help of spirited known beings, lifted the burden and dumped it so hard, it’s casted out forever. | |
