Everyone always seemed in a hurry to somewhere, for something. But I remember driving past Third Mainland Bridge often with my family, my head pressed against the cold glass alive with dew from the AC, staring out into the sea as fishermen rowed their canoes alone at even the loneliest of hours. The solemnity of that still beauty rattled me. The elegance of their arm strides saturated in the euphoric concept of gracefulness carried around by people who knew what belonged to them would surely come to them. It stirred something inside of me. I wondered what they were thinking while they stood, legs muscled and firm on the wood, waiting for their capture, or as their lips cracked as they sighted something I couldn’t see. The universe came to them in those moments, and on descending the bridge, I constantly felt robbed of an indefinable beauty.’ – Adebayo Oke-Lawal of Orange Culture More Articles You Would Love Sultry South African TV Personality Minnie Dlamini Goes Shirtless Benin Fashion Brand TEED Presents The Campaign Images For Their New JEANNE collection Photo Credit Photography: Tope Horpload (Instagram: @HorploadWorks) Makeup: DeyDeySoSo Hair (Instagram: @DeDeySoSo) Hair: Queen Darling Creative Direction: Adebayo Oke-Lawal (Instagram: @OrangeCultureng) Models: Kwen & Mannie See More Look Books Here Read More On Nigeria Adebayo Oke-LawalAfricaafrican fashionDeyDeySoSo HairEtched JourneyfashionNigeriannigerian fashionorange cultureTope Horpload Share FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedinWhatsappTelegramEmail FashionGHANA Admin FashionGHANA.com is a Fashion PR Company, Events planning & management team as well as Africa's leading Fashion Media House.
