Bloke CLOTHINGS

Since its 2015 inception, Bloke has created sustainable and gender-fluid ready-to-wear collections that champion the values of inclusivity and collaboration. Winner of the inaugural Emerge ALÁRA award recognizing young creatives in the Lagos community, Bloke founder Faith Oluwajimi forges a new path of cultural exploration with his avant-garde approach to textiles and knitwear. Updating traditional Nigerian prints and designs sourced from local artists, the brand reflects the different voices of Oluwajimi’s community. From knit sweaters with distressed hems to cotton patchwork tunics and flared paneled trousers, Bloke’s vibrant and multi-colored collections present everyday wear with a playful twist. Generously interpreting the exuberance of its local milieu, Bloke challenges the relationship between art, culture, and fashion with its well-crafted and experimental offerings.
