Nigerian Androgynous menswear designer Henri Uduku has unveiled his new fall collection titled “HU:MAN”. The coming of age Nigerian Based Urban designer explores and implores the use of pastel colors to express muted emotions and blunted feelings amplified by the restrictions imposed during the global pandemic.
An official press release statement from the designer reads:
Given the current global health climate, we, as humans, have been deprived of the very things that make us ourselves: the human touch. A lot of fear has been attached to human interaction, with greater reliance on technology, zoom meetings, and social media for communication & productivity. Although the situation we find ourselves in can be quite difficult and daunting, we as humans, must not forget what makes us who we are. We must not forget the value of a handshake, hug, or touching a lover.
The overall vision is to encourage, self-love and communal love and a need to build personal boundaries and disconnect when need be.
