Orange Culture Releases Autumn/Winter 2020 'The Flower Boy' Lookbook

 

After debuting its Autumn/Winter 2020 collection during New York Fashion Week dubbed ‘The Flower Boy’, Orange Culture has released its newest lookbook, which contains a vibrant array of jewel-toned separates, technical prints, and androgynous silhouettes. 

Adebayo Oke-Lawal’s created Orange Culture in 2011 to voice his frustrations with the hyper-masculinity that surrounded him in his native Nigeria. The brand’s androgynous style and willingness to push boundaries led it to the finals at the LVMH prize in 2014 and a London Fashion Week Men’s collection. Being honest about his feelings allows Adebayo to create collections imbued in authenticity, which have pushed conversations about male performance further. 

With the Autumn/Winter '20 collection Adebayo Oke-Lawal’s goals are reaffirmed. Male models stand in flower beds wearing provocative leather cuts; chainmail mixes with traditional Nigerian prints; women are layered in bright sunrise-inspired silks. Each model makes direct eye contact beside the viewer, reflecting Oke-Lawal’s increasing confidence in his work and his improved tailoring skills best exhibited by the cropped extended sleeve leather top and the leather flowered men's shirt.
