Vigilism x Ikiré Jones present “Escape to New Lagos.”
An imagining of Lagos in the year 2081 A.D. The Great Crude Explosion has just occurred; leaving oil flowing freely through the streets of the slums. Politicians have been exiled at the heels of bomb blasts and the populace’s uprising. The building of a new Center of the World has begun, much to the bewilderment of Western nations. This is the birth of New Lagos…and men of taste are wearing Ikiré Jones.
YES!
(Though I need to see more bubas, and iros, and gele, and agbada, and ankara, because I imagine us still wearing our “traditional” clothes in 2081 A.D or any other time in the future)
