ARISE Fashion Week 2019 Day 3 — Odio Mimonet

ARISE Fashion Week 2019 has officially come to an end after a 3-day event with top African and international designers showcasing their pieces for the Autumn/Winter 2019 season.

Odio Mimonet is a Nigerian label that, since officially launching in early 2000’s, has been a pillar of the Nigerian fashion industry and set the blueprint for designers that have followed. Unrivalled in quality, thoughtfulness and creativity, for 20 years, Odio Mimonet has quietly conquered.

Odio Mimonet’s AW19 show is a tale of two women; Mimi and Odio, and a celebration of the multifaceted modern African woman. Mimi was inspired by a stylish global citizen who celebrates her hometown wherever she goes through her modern African aesthetic. This was done by incorporating oversized, easy to wear silhouettes with distinctive African prints and sassy, bold slogans like ‘Living my best life’. Mimi is a stylish global citizen who celebrates her hometown wherever she goes through her modern African aesthetic.

As the show went on, the Mimi women slowly morphed into her alter-ego, Odio. The Odio pieces began with the designer’s signature beading which is opulent, dazzling and the epitome of her workmanship. The rest of the collection was a celebration of the quintessential African woman.
