Who Wore What: Oroma Elewa in Maki Oh F/W 2011

Oroma Elewa - Editor-in-Chief of Pop'Africana & Maki Oh muse - is pictured here at a dj'ing gig wearing a sheer shirt from Maki Oh's F/W 2011 collection. Trust Maki Oh to make pieces that are anything but standard. If anyone captures the spirit of Maki Oh, it's Oroma, and it's always a delight to see her wear her support. In case you missed photos from Maki Oh's F/W 2011 show at Arise Magazine Fashion Week in Lagos, enjoy the coverage on Fab Magazine's blog and One Nigerian Boy. It'll do your soul some good.

Oroma Elewa - editor of Pop'Africana and Maki Oh muse - wore a piece from Maki Oh's Fall/Winter 2010 collection recently. Trust her to rock the heck out of it with spark and spunk for days in tow. Love it. Love her.

  

Are you feeling it?

FPR in FPR's words:

Free People's Rebellion (F.P.R.) is all about incorporating the African esthetic in your everyday wear through accessories. All the fabric is from home (Africa), everything is hand made, and partial proceeds go to a charitable organization called Children's Comforting Yard [LIBERIA].
