The Asiko Glamour Girls collection is a set of ceramic storage vessels that have a sophisticated modern appeal to the western market with a strong West African aesthetic. The surface has enamel prints inspired by the Dutch Wax cloths worn by the famous Nigerian actresses who starred in the iconic nineties film called Glamour Girls.
With layered gold lustres and enamel spray paint images inspired by the busy city life of Lagos in Nigeria, the collection is an eccentric refreshing burst of colour and bold forms, that reflects the personalities of the characters played in Glamour Girls. The ceramic vessels serve as a tribute to these famous Nigerian women who are to this day, seen as modern stylish women.
