The fusion of cultural aesthetics continues into fabric sourcing. Fabrics used for accessories were all sourced from Nigerian artisans and garment materials consist of fine silks, Italian hemp, and ethically, sustainably sourced leather.

Style advisor Carine Roitfeld notes that “There’s a freshness to Kenneth’s designs that is so very different, and it creates a nice contrast to the brand’s DNA”. According to Pier Paolo Righi, CEO of KARL LAGERFELD, “Kenneth shares KARL LAGERFELD’s vision for innovation, craftsmanship, quality, and authenticity, and we are excited to bring the fruits of this collaboration to the public”.
