THE ONYEKA SUIT
Designed to honour an iconic voice whose songs and renditions formed the joyful soundtrack of countless Nigerian homes, this piece pays tribute to the legendary Onyeka Onwenu. For many, her music was the bright, melodic cue that signalled the start of NTA 2 Channel 5’s broadcast each day, a memory forever beautiful and fondly held.
The Onyeka Suit is a distinguished ensemble crafted to celebrate her enduring legacy. Fashioned from opulent woven damask, the look features high-waisted tapered trousers with discreet side zippers for function and ease, paired with an understated cropped jacket finished with a striking back zipper detail. The combination creates a silhouette that is both contemporary and ceremonial, a modern homage to a woman whose artistry, elegance, and cultural influence continue to resonate across generations.
