The ONYEOMA look is a striking marriage of heritage and modernity. The ensemble features a structured nude-toned bustier with a subtle cut-out waist, paired with a dramatic raffia skirt that cascades in layered textures. The skirt, reminiscent of ancestral dance regalia, moves with rhythmic energy, celebrating womanhood’s rooted connection to tradition and freedom.

A bold strand of coral bead straps at the shoulders honors cultural identity, contrasting beautifully against the neutral bodice. This look reimagines traditional attire for the contemporary runway, embodying both reverence for the past and the bold self-expression of today’s woman.
