Ọba of the New Dawn is a commanding fusion of regal West African heritage and contemporary runway elegance. Designed as a statement piece within the Africa Evolve collection, this look embodies leadership, legacy, and the quiet power of cultural renewal.
The ensemble centres on a boldly striped agbada silhouette, crafted in earthy, radiant tones that echo the colours of dawn breaking across the savannah. Its flowing form is embellished with intricate geometric embroidery—each stitch paying homage to ancestral craftsmanship and the enduring artistry of African textile traditions.
Paired with deep blue tailored trousers, the look balances heritage with a modern edge. The styling is completed with a classic beige cap, dark sunglasses, and a handcrafted wooden walking staff, symbolising wisdom, authority, and the forward path of the new era.
Created for the confident wearer who carries culture with pride, Ọba of the New Dawn stands as a tribute to the kings, storytellers, and visionaries who shape the future while honouring the past. A true masterpiece of African elegance reimagined for the global stage.
