From the “Wrapper Studies” collection, this one-of-a-kind blouse draws from the classic puff-sleeved blouses worn by Igbo women in southeastern Nigeria, reimagined here through a deconstructed, modern lens.
Crafted entirely from secondhand shirts, each piece features hand-dyed paneling that reveals subtle variations in colour and texture due to the differing fabric compositions of the original garments. The result is a garment that carries the memory of its past while boldly reshaped for the present.
The silhouette is fitted yet playful: a wide neckline frames the collarbone, while elongated sleeves with elbow vents add unexpected movement and ease. Raw hems and displaced shirting details complete the look with a signature Ajanèè edge.
