As Nigerians, our earliest awareness of angels were depicted by images of Doves in the sky, in church fliers representing divinity and purity. We relived fond memories of us as children flailing our hands like wings and singing whenever packs of doves flew over our house so we can get a white dot on our fingers as we explored the creative direction for Look 1. We also use floral embroidery details at the hem and sleeves to depict the earth and explore this idea that angels exist within us. We find angels in friends, lover, family and strangers
