On Our Radar: Maki Oh, Africa's Most Celebrated Collection at NYFW 2017

New York Fashion Week was blessed with many shades of color this year, and womenswear brand Maki Oh — by designer Amaka Osakwe — was a highlight of it all.  Fusing African techniques with detailed contemporary construction, Osakwe is one of many Black designers making her mark in Africa and America's fashion industry — and inspiring designers of color to do the same. 

This NYFW SS17 presentation and her fashion campaign are a firsthand look into her world. Watch below:
