Nola Black is new fashion brand that has caught the eye of industry watchers and veritable fashionistas like Eku Edewor and Stephanie Coker. While it is not abnormal to get excited about emerging fashion labels like Nola Black, there is a spice about this one, that has gotten fashionistas so excited about what the brand would bring to the industry.
Launched by Arinola Olowoporoku, Nola Black is positioned to challenge the usual pattern of the fashion industry in Nigeria with the creation of interesting silhouettes and usage of muted colour palettes.
From their Instagram page, it is evident that the brand “aims to embody contraries”, as seen by their love for mixing black and white.
Despite the use of monochromatic fabrics, the label does the unexpected by creating bold and expressive pieces which are structured to put the wearer forward in a crowd. A quick assessment of this brand will lead you to realize that it is not for the weak as it celebrated women in every way.
The label describes themselves thus, on their website:
“Nola Black is a Nigerian-based Contemporary Womenswear Brand. For modern ladies and women, Nola Black offers high quality, finely finished premium garments solely in black and white, to provide a combination of contemporary quirkiness, transcendent artistic style with a thoroughly practical appeal.
The core of the brand and its aesthetics transcends into every aspect and association, which emphasizes harmony, counter-balance and duality in a dynamic system. Nola Black is a lifestyle brand that provides its customers with pristine yet soulful black and white pieces.”
