A cotton kilt using the brightly coloured African wax print fabric worn throughout Nigeria, sourced from the textile market in Lagos whilst researching a new museum, with matching tunic made from my vintage wool collection. The stiff handle of this cotton, combined with the trace residue of wax from the dying process, creates sharp pleats that hold their shape. Very deep pleating compensates for the lightweight fabric to ensure a strong shape is held and good swing is achieved when walking.
