A Full Review of #AnkaraStylesSS23 by Remme Clothiers

By Connie Aluoch

Remme Clothiers, run by the creative Bunmi Odunsi, has always been at the forefront of changing how modern African clothing looks in the ever-changing world of African fashion. The brand starts a new journey with the release of #AnkaraStylesSS23. This time, they honour the vibrancy, versatility, and cultural importance of Ankara fabrics by mixing traditional styles with modern ones.

One of the best things about #AnkaraStylesSS23 is that it keeps the rich history of African prints while adding new cuts and shapes to them. There are a lot of different styles in the collection, such as structured blazers, fitted jumpsuits, flowing maxi dresses, and skirts that aren’t the same on both sides. This wide range makes sure that everyone can find something that fits their body type and style.

The colour palette is another great thing about it. Bunmi Odunsi has expertly picked colours that go from deep, earthy tones to bright, fun ones. This makes it easy for the collection to go from day to night. The designer has a good eye for design and knows how to tell a story with Ankara, as seen in the complex patterns and layered prints on some of the pieces.

The work in this collection is also of very high quality. Every piece is made with care and attention to detail, from the precise tailoring to the well-done embellishments. The collection is a new take on modern African fashion because it uses new ways to drape and manipulate fabric that make Ankara more comfortable to wear than traditional styles.

The collection has a lot of different styles, but some of the pieces’ designs seem too busy. Some clothes have big ruffles and layers that are very dramatic, but people who want simple elegance might not like them. The brand could reach even more people if it could find a balance between high fashion and ready-to-wear.

There are some modern tailoring pieces in the collection, but there are also simpler designs that show off the beauty of Ankara fabric without too much detail. Some designs could be made simpler and still have the same cultural meaning. This would make them more appealing to buyers all over the world.

The way accessories go together could also use some work. Some outfits would look better if the accessories were chosen more carefully to go with the complicated prints and shapes instead of fighting with them. If the styling were more consistent, the collection would look better as a whole.

Remme Clothiers is dedicated to honouring African fashion while also pushing the limits of design, as seen in #AnkaraStylesSS23. Bunmi Odunsi is a leader in the industry because she can mix old and new styles, as shown by the collection. If the design and styling were changed a little, this collection could appeal to people all over the world, not just fans of African fashion.

In the end, #AnkaraStylesSS23 is a colourful and well-planned collection that stays true to African fashion while also telling stories about modern style. It shows once again that Remme Clothiers is a brand to watch because it is changing the way Ankara looks in modern fashion.
