CLASSY COLLECTION FROM VANSKERE FOR SS 17

The brand Vanskere is undoubtedly one of the best fashion brands in the country, which is totally dedicated to the male folks. They are known especially for exceptional tailoring and very clean lines. Their new collection, which was recently released, reflected again their undoubted ethos.

This new collection is tagged the "Afropolitan 3 piece SS 17 Collection". It is the brand's own interpretation of the regular 3 piece. The 3 piece here speaks of 2 tunics and a pant.

According to the creative director of the brand, "Evans Ekere", they were able to come up with a concept, where one can have 2 tunics that can be worn interchangeably with one pant, without having to make another, which is cost effective.

The collection is targeted at the conservative but matured man and can be worn as either casual wear or more formal attire.

The collection was modelled by top Celebrities likes of veteran actor and broadcaster Patrick Doyle, top actor and writer Kalu Ikeagwu and top Nigerian filmmaker Femi Odugbemi.
