The sculptural peplum blouse is the central argument of this two-piece: strong padded shoulders, a high rounded neckline, and a meticulously constructed peplum that defines the waist with architectural precision. Its lineage is the Victorian blouse adopted by Kalabari women of the Niger Delta in the nineteenth century and entirely reinvented on their own terms, transforming a colonial import into a marker of elite female identity.
This handcrafted luxury two-piece sits at the intersection of fashion history and cultural reclamation. Part of the Homecoming FW25 collection by Joseph Ejiro.
Blouse and skirt: cotton and taffeta blend (grey/black). Floor-length mermaid silhouette.
