Nola Black - The Skin Under SS19

Designer’s Notes

The concept of how we live as humans is an idea we are constantly exploring through

clothing expression. Humans exist in layers. We are a collection of social encounters

covered by layers of skin, literally and metaphorically. Our skin are costumes. We only

show aspects of us revealing one dimensional representation of ourselves but our truest

forms remain hidden. What is under your skin?

This collection silhouette and fabrication seeks to depict the overlap of social experiences

and how different life occurrences reveal ‘hidden’ layers in us. The visuals show different

versions of us, existing within one realm of reality. Through this collection, we hope to

expose these hidden layers to the surface and allow our conscious self exist as the

multifaceted, overlapped, evolving social people we already are.

About The Brand

Established in 2016, Nola Black is a Nigeria-Based Pret A Porter Womenswear Clothing

Line. We have a curiosity in the existence of light in colour. Black representing the absence

of light and white the presence of all colour.

The essence of Nola Black seeks to find balance in extremes creating a dynamic

combination of contrasting elements. We offer fashion with a meaning, providing a

clothing language that allows for layered form of self expression for the evolving woman

who looks to stand out.
