Nigeria's Duro Olowu At London Fashion Week

This is about the Spring/Summer 14 Collection of Nigerian designer Duro Olowu.

We've been following Mr. Duro Olowu closely every season. One of our favorite designer from the continent, Nigeria's Duro Olowu is always one step ahead. London Fashion Week is currently in motion and we had the opportunity to view Olowu's Spring/Summer 14 collection. Howproperly express the diversity presented in the collection? There are stunning outfit for all tastes. For S/S 14, Olowu took his time developing oversized pieces, colorful patchworks, stylized camisoles — all classic pieces with an Olowu signature. It's bold, feminine and definitely edgy. As we previously noticed during New York Fashion Week, Spring/Summer 14 will be a great season and this collection is a must-have to shine in style.

Femi explains: "'As We Struggle Everyday' is about how hard people work everyday to make ends meet and still go to vote corrupt politicians into power who are meant to be in jail."

Femi Kuti shares his new single, "As We Struggle Everyday," the latest drop from the upcoming double album Legacy +, a joint endeavor with his son Made Kuti.

"As We Struggle Everyday" is a politically-charged afrobeat tune about people having the voting power to hold their 'leaders' accountable, but often failing to do so. Throughout the song, Femi sings "As we struggle everyday We try to find a better way See these leaders wey suppose jail Na him my people dem dey hail."

Femi explains: "'As We Struggle Everyday' is about how hard people work everyday to make ends meet and still go to vote corrupt politicians into power who are meant to be in jail."
