FAITH OLUWAJIMI

A PRECOCIOUS CREATIVE VISIONARY AND AWARD-WINNING SELF-TAUGHT NIGERIAN DESIGNER BASED BETWEEN LAGOS AND LONDON, CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND ARTIST FAITH OLUWAJIMI GENEROUSLY INTERPRETS THE EXUBERANCE OF ITS LOCAL MILIEU THROUGH HIS WORKS AT BLOKE, CREDITED AS CHALLENGING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ART, CULTURE, AND FASHION WITH ITS WELL-CRAFTED AND EXPERIMENTAL OFFERINGS. IN 2015, AT JUST 19 YEARS OLD, OLUWAJIMI SELF-FUNDED HIS LABEL, BLOKE, A LABEL INTRODUCING A DISTINCT NOTION OF LUXURY BY BRIDGING CONTEMPORARY DESIGN WITH AN HANDCRAFTED SENSIBILITY, ENVELOPED WITH AN UNDERTONE OF SELF-EXPLORATION CHAMPIONING THE VALUES OF INCLUSIVITY AND COLLABORATION THAT FORGES A NEW PATH OF CULTURAL EXPLORATION WITH AN AVANT-GARDE APPROACH.
