HISTORY:
the history of the trend can be traced to the early seventies in the south-wetsern part of Nigeria. The yoruba traditional wear of iro and buba was re-invented and re-styled into a shorter and more stylish version.
PRESENT:
there are so many recreations of Oleku but my best so far is one made by Bola Obileye (seriously dougnuts blogger and stylist behind Tote).
