YOUR
CONCEPT
OF
FEMININITY

Where craftsmanship meets bold imagination — a fusion of heritage, artistry, and modern luxury that redefines resortwear for the global woman.

WORK

THE ENERGY OF HERITAGE REIMAGINED
Where rhythm met refinement.

Our creative direction for Onalaja’s debut resortwear collection reimagined the brand through the vibrant lens of Miami’s “Vice” aesthetic bright, vintage, and alive with contrast. Inspired by the spirit of Fela Kuti’s music and its celebration of freedom, movement, and individuality, the campaign infused African soul into the city’s modern luxury. The result was a visual narrative that elevated Onalaja’s artistry into a global statement of cultural pride and contemporary sophistication.
