My name is Oluwaseun Oyedele; I am a Nigeria-based Textile designer and the Creative Director of Seun’dele. Seun’dele is a contemporary brand crafting hand-made eclectic pieces by employing adventurous textile techniques inspired by art, african culture & ancient traditions. Our commitment to sustainability lies in honoring and preserving traditional craftsmanship, while also embracing innovative approaches that minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency. I am thrilled to introduce ‘IRIN AJO,’ a wearable art piece that encapsulates our journey of re-inventing age old African textile techniques. Inspired by the Yoruba term for ‘journey,’ this creation serves as a visual narrative of our exploration and experimentation as a brand. At Seun’dele, we are passionate about honoring and preserving the age old African textile traditions while infusing them with a fresh perspective, seeking to re-invent and breathe new life into this time-honored craft, Adire (Tie-dye). This work of art above is a testament to the power of exploration and experimentation, a reminder that true beauty lies in the unexpected and the unconventional. What sets the ‘IRIN AJO’ piece apart is the delicate technique employed in its creation. Each layer of pattern and color is meticulously applied by expert hands. It is a labor of love that spans multiple stages, with each layer building upon the last until the final result is achieved. The ‘IRIN AJO’ shirt stands as a testament to our commitment to redefining the boundaries of possibility. Through meticulous experimentation and a fearless spirit of innovation, we have succeeded in creating a piece that seamlessly bridges the gap between past and present.
