Wana Sambo presents Vulgarity is not a Option: The Modern Woman

Nigerian fashion brand, Wana Sambo has released the first part of it’s new collection, “Vulgarity is not an option”, a collection for the modern woman, in a look book featuring Multimedia Journalist, Advocate for women and youth empowerment and the Co-Founder of the We Rise Initiative, Laila Johnson- Salami.

A Modern Woman should embrace her femininity without giving too much away. That is why for the Wana Sambo Modern Woman Collection, “vulgarity is not an option.” All cuts, patterns and drapes were carefully created to channel strength, poise, uniqueness and sophistication with hints of masculinity and buckets full of feminine edge, Wana Sambo’s latest collection accentuates the best parts of a woman without giving away her power

The Modern Woman understands that to stand out she doesn’t have to be vulgar but her voice needs to be heard. She seeks equality: She is to be recognized as one who is as good as any man in any role. She however understands that men and women are different in certain ways and absolutely accepts it.

THE MODERN WOMAN IS UNAPOLOGETIC ABOUT HER BEAUTY, HER BRAINS AND HER KICK-ASS PERSONALITY, WHICH ALL COMES TOGETHER TO MAKE HER UNIQUELY HER. THE MODERN WOMAN DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE SCHOOL OF THOUGHT THAT SAYS “SHE MUST NOT THREATEN THE MAN.”

The Modern Woman is: Confident, Dynamic, Humane, Compassionate and Unstoppable, therefore we chose the face of this collection very carefully; Laila Johnson-Salami.

Laila Johnson-Salami is a Multimedia Journalist, an Advocate for women and youth empowerment and the Co-Founder of the We Rise Initiative.

She is a Politics and International Relations graduate from the University of Westminster and is currently based in Lagos, Nigeria, where she runs LJS Productions – a digital media and content creation agency.
