When Mai Atafo returned from a three-year hiatus last year for ‘The Atelier’, it was nothing short of spectacular. The creative designer took it up a notch on the evening of Tuesday, October 24, 2023, as he unveiled his Spring/Summer ’24 collection at the Eko Hotel and Suites, VI, Lagos. Drawing in over 700 guests who watched 70 models in 90 outfits, the event was an exceptional gathering of craftsmanship, elegance and style.
The collection, labeled Sartorial Reverie, presented a harmonious fusion of classic tailoring and contemporary design elements, reflecting ATAFO’s commitment to timeless tailoring and innovative spirit.
With a mix of sophisticated yet modern range of garments that cater to life’s various occasions, the menswear featured formal silhouettes inspired by ATAFO’s signature designs like the ‘schaket’ and ‘tradxedo’; while the womenswear introduced a fresh, more feminine approach that merges contemporary design with traditional Nigerian style.
Unsurprisingly, the event brought together the finest names in the Nigerian entertainment, media and fashion spaces, including Richard-Mofe Damijo, Aituaje ‘Waje’ Iruobe, Banky Wellington, Adesua Wellington, Alexx Ekubo, Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi, Shaffy Bello, IK Osakioduwa, Timi Dakolo, IK Ogbonna, Prince Nelson ‘Prince’ Enwerem, Akin Faminu, Idia Aisen, Dimma Umeh, Mimi ‘Medlin Boss Yina and Ilebaye Odinaya – among others.
Supported by the world’s leading single malt whisky, The Macallan, the event was not only a sensory delight but also a testament to the increasing fascination with Africa’s burgeoning fashion industry.
