Here’s how the design brand, Magnetic Elegance describes the collection:

The Adunni Collection was inspired by the elaborate African wedding ceremony and bridal culture infused by the identity of a strong African woman Adunni Molade. Grandmother of the creative director, who was a politician, architect and fashion designer herself in the 1940s. She was the true image of the African woman, strong, enterprising, and elegant in appearance.
