Eyola’s designs shown at AFW come from three Octettes: Isimey,
Norianche and Acrifa. All three Octettes were inspired by an
array of inspirations from Victorian period dress to modern art to
inspirations one gets from merely just being alive.
Some inspirations
for these Octettes include French expressionist painter Wassily
Kandinsky’s expressive, bright and complex paintings and Op art’s
geometric and perceptual abstraction.
