Nigeria and UK

Abiola Onabule’s garments are inspired by her Nigerian heritage, taking cloth that holds sentimental significance and incorporating it into her designs. This film shows the Aso Oke cloth from Abiola’s time visiting the weavers in her family’s home town of Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria.
