Orange Culture

Founder of Orange Culture, Adebayo Oke-Lawal is Lagos born and bread. Born out of his frustrations with hyper-masculinity and the prescribed identities surrounding him, Bayo speaks of Orange Culture as more than a clothing line, but “a movement for a creative class of men."

The first Nigerian brand to showcase at London Collection Men's and be a finalist of the LVMH prize in ’14, Bayo continues to push the boundaries forward for his hometown. From karaoke joints to the best places to escape the chaos, check out his guide to Lagos.
