Last we checked in with Ikiré Jones, a Philadelphia-based, politically-engaged, West African bespoke streetwear line, its Fall 2016 Collection had been unveiled.

FASHION BRAND – Philadelphia
Ikiré Jones is the endeavor of designer/afrobeat musician/attorney Walé Oyéjidé, and musician/bespoke tailor Sam Hubler. On rare occasions, we can be described as humble. More often, we can be described as two artists with a zeal for creating beautiful things that sit to the left of what has been resignedly accepted as the status quo.
