ASOS AFRICA SS2012 – COMING SOON

This highly awaited collection will be delivered to ASOS for April 30th and we are loving the explosion to colour and print and above all the respect of the traditional. WIth the use of traditional Kitenge prints, the SOKO team have produced a collection for ASOS that have rescaled, re-coloured and given fluorescent highlights for a modern edge almost in celebration of the traditional.

WIth prices starting from £25, you will see here bold stripes in loose cotton twill which have a hand-woven effect as well as conversational animal prints that are inspired by Kenyan wildlife to add humour.

Crop tops and micro-shorts create bikini sets printed with miniature rhinos, while giraffes are beaded and appliquéd. An equally vibrant palette sees acid lime, turquoise and lilac jostle playfully against black and white.
