Reclusive Nigerian menswear brand, I.N Official (Formerly “Ifeanyi Nwune”) creates a new collection titled “Black Trill”.
 
The creative director of the brand, Ifeanyi Nwune, explains that the name “Black Trill” represents the ability of an African (a Black) brand to be able to create something phenomenal that can stand side-by-side with the western world counterparts.

The collection is inspired by the artistic prowess of the colour black. The models used are both African, a dark skin (Kevwe) and an albino (Iyi). Kevwe is an professional model while Iyi is a security man at a service company in Lagos, Nigeria. The idea behind the contrast of the models is to define the beauty of the black race and the distinct forms they may come in; and also show that however you were born does not hinder your opportunity to succeed.

The images were shot in Lagos, Nigeria by Niyi Okeowo and was assisted by Straffitti.
