Christie Brown 重返拉各斯：肯特布与几何造型的克制新篇
Christie Brown Lagos Spring 2027
加纳品牌 Christie Brown 时隔八年重返拉各斯，发布 2027 春季系列。设计师 Aisha Ayensu 这次收起了品牌标志性的高饱和色彩，转向更克制的灰与米色、几何造型，灵感来自加纳独立后不久建成的 Adomi Bridge——那座桥建成时的兴奋与乐观。系列同时把 Ewe 族传统肯特布做进现代廓形，用颜色游戏让传统面料长出新样子。上一次她在拉各斯办秀还是「She is King」系列，如今大胆肩线与荷叶边都在，但 Ayensu 说现在的女人「不必再证明什么」，成熟本身就是力量。署名：颜如玉编辑台。
It’s been eight years since Ghana’s Christie Brown presented a collection in Lagos. Thursday night’s showcase marked an exciting return to the Nigerian metropolis, as the brand looks to reconnect with the West African country. Designer Aisha Ayensu said she was excited to be back in town. “This isn’t our first rodeo here. We used to show quite a lot, so we’re excited to be back. I love the energy here. It’s just so infectious.”
Christie Brown has long been known for its bold structures and bright colors, but this season Ayensu introduced a new aesthetic, favoring more muted tones and experiments with geometric shapes. She drew particular inspiration from the Adomi Bridge, located in the Eastern region of Ghana, which was built shortly after the country gained independence. Ayensu drew on the feeling of excitement and optimism surrounding the then-new bridge. Beyond the geometric shapes, she also incorporated Ewe kente, a traditional textile used by the Ewe ethnic group located in southeastern Ghana. The goal was to use traditional fabric for a modern silhouette by playing around with the colors (brights were replaced with gray and beige, she explained).
The last collection Ayensu showed in Lagos was titled “She is King”; it was the tail end of the #girlboss era. Reflecting on that period, Ayensu draws some similarities between spring 2019 and spring 2027, including bold shoulders and ruffles. “We’re committed to building wardrobes that you always come back to,” she said. “And this is where the woman has now evolved to. She is King but in a mature way. She doesn’t have to prove so much.”
