FROM HER, THE SEA
From Her, the Sea is a fashion film created for designer Tia Adeola, exploring a surreal world beneath the ocean shaped entirely by feminine expression, with Olokun, the Yoruba orisha of the sea and goddess of the deep, at its center. At the heart of the film is a prophecy. Drawn by a deep and inexplicable calling, a woman enters the ocean in search of Olokun—and, ultimately, in search of a missing part of herself. Her descent beneath the water becomes the narrative spine of the film, leading her into an alternate world where femininity exists entirely on its own terms.CREDITS

FEATURED VIDEO
WATERS OF MARCH
Inspired by the timeless bossa nova masterpiece by Antônio Carlos Jobim, Waters of March is a collection that carries moments of surreal poetry- woven into the garments and captured in every photograph. Literally and figuratively in The Water of March. To bring this vision to life, the team traveled to Belém, the historic capital of Pará in northern Brazil. Founded in 1616 and standing proudly at the mouth of the Amazon River, Belém is a city where colonial architecture meets the vibrant, untamed pulse of the rainforest. It is a place of profound cultural richness, blending Indigenous and European influences into a unique atmosphere.
