Ikiré Jones is a Menswear company that marries African aesthetics with Neapolitan tailoring as seen in the S/S '14 Collection. Owned by the duo of NY based Musician/Attorney Walé Oyéjidé, and bespoke tailor Samuel Hubler, who described themselves as "two artists with a zeal for creating beautiful things that sit to the left of what has been resignedly accepted as the status quo".
The pieces in the collection have West African aesthetics with Italian tailoring. They are just brilliant!
