The Layered Asymmetrical Top
Architectural layering for the modern wardrobe.
NGN 42,000
A study in architectural layering, this sleeveless top is cut from a structured black fabric with an angular, extended hemline that creates a geometric overlay effect. Beneath it, a blue-and-white vertically striped shirt peeks through at the collar and cascades into an asymmetrical skirt panel — a single piece that reads as a complete, considered outfit.
Designed for the woman who dresses with intention, the layered silhouette moves between boardroom and gallery opening with quiet confidence. The pleated shorts underneath provide coverage without bulk, while the extended hemline creates a dramatic line that elongates the frame.
Each piece is finished by hand in our Lagos atelier, with a focus on clean seaming and fabric integrity that ensures the garment holds its shape through countless wears.
