Sierra Leoneans will notice that these designs for Rebahia’s Lola spring collection borrow heavily from our creole traditional print ‘Kohbaslot’ embroidery technique. Orire Omatsola is a 19yr fashion designer from Nigeria whose new line Rebahia is being hailed as emerging designer to watch by Bella Naija. Goes to show that the many things we take for granted about Sierra Leone if modernized could be global ingenuity. So dust of your prints ladies, cause e don cam na style.
