DNA by Iconic Invanity unveils intricately timeless pieces for their SS24 tagged “IKOYI”.
The Nigerian brand presented an array of their signature hand-beading and embellished detailing on structured style pieces. The accents were of sophistication, elegance and grand opulence.
According to the creative director of DNA by Iconic Invanity; Destiny Ada Nwadire,
In the heart of Lagos, Ikoyi where opulence meets urban sophistication, Destiny Nwadire’s latest collection for DNA by Iconic Invanity unfolds like a nocturnal dream…
The Collection shot in the background of Ikoyi Lagos, embodies the aspirational spirit of Ikoyi club 1938, a bastion of old world charm, providing a retreat for the well heeled – a place where old money meets new ambition and where the pursuit of the good life is an art form of itself. Here, manicured lawns and tennis courts, deals are brokered over Gin and Tonics as the sun dips below the horizon.
As the night falls, the glitterati descend upon an exquisite blend of pastel hues: Blush Petal Pink, Powder Blue, Soft Mint and Buttercup; intricately hand-embellished contemporary day to night statement pieces that not only adorn the body but also tells the story of a global African luxury brand and the DNA women.
The Collection is filled with intricately detailed & structured jackets, dresses, tops paired with fluid palazzo pants, offering a nod to power dressing, reimagined for the woman who closes deals on multiple continents. The collection exudes an air of exclusivity with traditional hand woven Aso Oke textile and embroidered with sleek modern cuts – a testament to the designer’s ability to bridge cultures and eras.
DNA by Iconic Invanity (owned by Destiny and Alanis Nwadire) is a sister brand of Iconic Invanity (owned by their mother Nancy Nwadire), a Nigerian fashion brand known for its intricate hand-embellished creations
