Mowalola Ogunlesi and Marc Jacobs presented – and quietly retired – one of the most unexpected and powerful capsules of the year. The Nigerian designer added a new chapter to their collaborative trajectory, which has recently included names such as THE SKATEROOM and Ksubi. However, this alliance with Marc Jacobs could be considered her most ambitious gesture to date.
The campaign, visually and creatively directed by Mowalola herself, featured Rico Nasty and Deto Black, embodying a powerful and distorted visual narrative of futuristic glamour. The proposal included circular studded bags, ultra-tight graphic tees, dark printed shirts and a selection of jewellery branded with the Marc by Mowalola hybrid logo.
The collection, which also appeared on official Marc Jacobs channels, was released unannounced and available for a limited time. Key silhouettes – such as the Circle Bag in standard and XL versions, the XL Sack Bag with printed graphics, and the exclusive emblem charm necklace – channelled Mowalola’s signature punk-deconstructed aesthetic, fused with Jacobs’ New York heritage.
Today, the collection has disappeared without a trace from the digital shop windows, consolidating its status as a cult object.
Mowalola teams up with the Skateroom to launch a line of decks.
