I remember 2012 was the first time I saw the Komole (means Dance in Yoruba) Iro and Buba, I was totally drawn to it , fascinated by the fabric ( made from very rich silk Aso Oke ) and lace cuttings . Very contemporary African looks especially the sleeves and the way it hugs and shows off the female figure. I remember saying to my mum; “I want one of those when I’m getting married”. It’s really a piece any bride who can afford it should have.
A few weeks back I was faffing around Instagram and I was another bride wearing the Komole Iro and buba and I thought , what if the used the fabric and made wedding dresses … fabulous!!! was the word .
Deola Sageo clearly had similar and even better thoughts for her brand. For those who haven’t seen the amazing pieces, here’s Komole Kandids
