‘Seun Morafa’ the Creative Director for the brand has disclosed his inspiration behind the ‘Sauciety’ collection, attributing it to ‘Black Panthers of the 60s’.
Seun Morafa said;
“The Black Panthers of the sixties, originally the Black Panther party for self-defense, was an African-American revolutionary party founded in 1966. The glory days when men and women walked around with so much confidence and their fashion was as iconic as their movement. The dawn of a new era, the rise of the new cool black, an era of creativity and visually celebrating true blackness, an era when black was poetry, the black panthers made us realize how powerful being Black is, worthy of imitation and praise”.
‘Sauciety’ depicts the dawn of a brand new era as well as the rise of the new cool black.
