Lagos, Nigeria – The city's fashion scene is set for a spectacular showcase as acclaimed Nigerian luxury womenswear designer Yutee Rone prepares to unveil her latest collection. The highly anticipated event, scheduled for November 30, 2025, will present the 'Textures of the Ocean' line in an exclusive presentation that promises to blend art, fashion, and immersive experience.
The Creative Inspiration Behind the Collection
The genesis of the 'Textures of the Ocean' collection traces back to Rone's recent journey to the Greek island of Mykonos. It was there, during a profound encounter with the Aegean Sea, that the designer found the conceptual foundation for her new work. Rone, who has consistently drawn inspiration from nature throughout her career, described this experience as particularly transformative.
"My travels and my love for nature have always influenced my collections," the designer explained. "My experience in Mykonos deepened my appreciation of the ocean, its movement, its calm, and the quiet strength it embodies. This shaped the foundation of the collection."
Design Elements and Aesthetic Direction
The 'Textures of the Ocean' collection masterfully translates the sea's multifaceted character into wearable art. Rone captures the ocean's fluidity, depth, and serenity through sophisticated design techniques that include soft draping and architectural curves. The silhouettes are specifically engineered to evoke the gentle, rhythmic motion of waves.
The colour story unfolds through a carefully curated palette featuring pale water tones, deeper oceanic blues, sandy neutrals, and subtle pearlescent details that catch the light. Fabric selection plays a crucial role in the narrative, with luxurious materials like silk, organza, and satin serving as the primary canvas. These are complemented by textured materials that reference various shoreline elements, adding dimensional depth to the pieces.
Embellishments are applied with thoughtful restraint, creating subtle points of reflection rather than overwhelming the garments. Beyond the visual appeal, Rone emphasizes that the collection explores emotional resonance, drawing parallels between the ocean's enduring nature and the inner strength of contemporary women.
"The ocean teaches grace and purpose," Rone noted. "These qualities reflect the women I design for."
An Immersive Fashion Experience
The presentation will transform Pitstop Village in Ikoyi into a carefully orchestrated environment that mirrors the collection's contemplative atmosphere. Every element – from spatial design and musical accompaniment to staging and movement – has been arranged to create a cohesive, immersive experience that echoes the calm and depth of the ocean that inspired the collection.
The 2025 edition of the show enjoys support from Martell, one of the world's oldest cognac houses. This collaboration underscores shared values of exceptional craftsmanship, refinement, and artistic expression. Guests will encounter a curated Martell activation that aligns seamlessly with the presentation's overarching themes.
