Traditional crafts and a very unique design language characterize the work of Berlin fashion designer Buki Akomolafe. In her collections, androgynous, precise cuts meet eye-catching wax prints. Especially the elaborately quilted skirts and tops are remarkable and, like the basics, entirely produced in the designer’s studio and a small manufactory in Berlin. She works only with ecological materials, such as biologically grown cotton and hemp silk or West African wax print fabrics. Buki Akomolafe spent her early childhood in Nigeria with her father, who was managing an agricultural project. Saving resources is just as important to her as creating a new awareness of fashion and materials.
