Adeola Esther Olarinde, founder and creative director of Elegant Attire, showcased her latest collection, “Simply Silk,” at the Warri Fashion Lifestyle Festival, which was held earlier in the month. This stunning collection embodies the brand’s focus on comfortable luxury wear that is gentle on the skin and perfect for the modern man.
The “Simply Silk” collection boasts an impressive range of pieces, from sleek shirts to elegant trousers, all crafted from high-quality silk and cotton fabrics. The versatility of the collection is evident in its ability to transition from formal events to casual gatherings seamlessly. The durability of the garments is also noteworthy, with careful attention paid to stitch choice, seam allowances, and overall construction quality. Each piece exudes a sense of timelessness, ensuring they will remain staples in any man’s wardrobe for years to come.
Leading designers in the industry have applauded Olarinde’s innovative approach, particularly her ability to merge luxury with functionality. “Adeola has truly captured the essence of modern luxury while staying true to her roots,” praised one designer, emphasizing the impact of her designs on the fashion landscape.
In an era where sustainability is paramount, Elegant Attire’s use of silk and cotton fabrics is a thoughtful choice. These natural fibres are not only gentle on the skin but also have a lower environmental impact compared to synthetic materials. While there is room for improvement in terms of sustainable practices, Olarinde’s commitment to using eco-friendly materials is a step in the right direction.
One of the festival’s organizers, Ify Pineapple, remarked, “Adeola’s work with the ‘Simply Silk’ collection is a breath of fresh air. It’s not just fashion; it’s an experience that reflects both the sophistication and sustainability that our industry needs.”
Adeola Esther Olarinde’s ability to innovate, forecast trends, and construct garments is truly impressive. Her use of bold colours, such as lemon green and pink, adds a touch of modernity to the collection while maintaining a sense of sophistication. Olarinde’s attention to detail and understanding of her target audience’s needs are evident in every piece. As a garment constructor, she has demonstrated exceptional skill in crafting comfortable, functional, and stylish clothing that meets the demands of the modern man.
