Three to four months per look
Each look in the Queen Idia Collection took three to four months to craft — an extraordinary feat of hand-beading, textural layering and crystal embroidery.
One standout creation, nicknamed “The Ice Dress”, was adorned with over 30,000 crystal beads, 6,000 droplets and Swarovski stones, while its sculpted tulle petals required over 200 yards of fabric — each hand-cut and hand-stitched.
Heritage, reimagined
Coral motifs reimagined in crystal and traditional Edo structures refined with Western tailoring: the collection honours Queen Idia, mother of Oba Esigie of the Benin Kingdom, as a symbol of feminine strength, wisdom and regal presence.
