By Funmilola Olukomaiya

Adebayo Oke-Lawal, the Creative Director Of menswear brand, Orange Culture is the debut cover star of ‘A Nasty Boy’.

Adebayo Oke-Lawal has been designing since the age of 10, and since officially entering the fashion industry, he’s dabbled in writing and styling, working with African designers, actors, pop stars and even magazines but design is his greatest passion, and since starting the label in 2011, he’s been hard at work trying to bring Orange Culture to the world.

‘A Nasty Boy’ is a new Nigerian fashion publication founded by Richard Akuson, a former fashion journalist at BellaNaija, Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan with British/Nigerian menswear designer and stylist Tokyo James as the Creative Director.

Speaking on the new publication, Richard describes it as “A radical agenda-setting Nigerian fashion publication that joyously curates the best of Nigerian fashion and pop culture, catching a whiff of the underground while staying true to the mainstream through the eyes of young discerning millennials”.

According to Richard: “Adebayo makes the perfect cover boy due to his out-of-the-box approach to fashion and his ability to stay relevant at the pinnacle of the Nigerian fashion industry while paving the way for tens of young boys and girls looking to have careers as impactful as his. Just like ‘A Nasty Boy’, Bayo appeals equally to the underground as much as he does to the mainstream with a cult millennial following that makes him a vision of the digital age. Today we celebrate him and everything that he’s achieved and helped create through his larger-than-life body of work.”
