We love her style and how she's able to balance career and work, For this reason, we decided she was the perfect fit to launch this collaboration; Wana Sambo Nollywood Edit.

Clothed in separates and pairs, Adunni worked the camera like the star she is and wore each texture and style to perfection. The Adunni Jumpsuit (named after her) is one piece the Wana Sambo Woman must possess.

The Wana Sambo brand is known for our obsession with making pieces that can easily be worn as separates as good as they are worn as a pair and this collection is nothing short of brand's our ready-to-wear aesthetic and DNA.

Smoke Pipe trousers with Military Pockets, Cold Shoulder blouses and off-shoulder necklines are on full display in this collection and all pieces are timeless and can be worn in years to come should the Wana Sambo Woman keep her form.
