The fast rising Nigerian brand presented pieces in dense fits, soft colours, layering, mixed prints and more in the impressive edgy cool collection.

"EmmyKasbit drew inspiration from the lives of the sub Saharan nomads for the A/W17 collection titled 'EXPEDITION'. The collection explores the story of a man on a Journey to Liberation from life's setbacks and features a new sense of elegance to menswear with the use of wool, corduroy and jacquard prints, all put together to produce vintage/sporty silhouettes for the everyday nomadic man" the brand revealed in a note.
