Nkwo Onwuka is ‘AFRO-BOHEMIAN CHIC’.
Winner of the Phoenix Award at Kulture2Couture 2007,in association with the Mayor of London’s office and the V&A.
The Nkwo collection features volume created with layers of tulle, silk and the softness and fluidity of chiffon in earthly warm colours. The vibrant print fabrics come alive, with bubble hems, frill details on the necklines, tulip skirts and dresses.
The ‘print’ embroidery on her pieces is proof of her distinctive craftsmanship as a designer. It is also an exquisite complement to the fabrics as it stimulates interest in the burst, neckline and waist line of her pieces. Her collection comes off as organic; reflective of the beauty of the African soil!
