T.W.O PRESENTS ITS 2008 COLLECTION: THE OMO-GÉ COLLECTION.

FINALLY, the summer is here and T.W.O has come with it in full force! For everyone that has been waiting, THANK YOU so very much for the support and love you have always shown. We love this collection & hope you do too....[well you have to, with six different ranges, there is something for everyone!]

The word 'Omo-Gé' means'Girl/ Babe/Chic/The Hottness etc... in Western Nigeria's Yoruba dialect. We chose it because looking at our entire collection, we realise it is essentially FEMININE. This collection is a celebration of beauty in all forms, glamour, fun, life, fabulosity and femininity. The collection is divided into 6 ranges, separated under 6 different posts with descriptions and pictures of each piece.

All the fabric, styles and names are proudly feminine...(Please feel free to insert a Lóreal 'Cause- we're-worth-it!'-style slogan here.lol!) The names of all the dresses are female names, in different languages[from arabic to thai & more....],representing our varied inspirations and interests. So do not be surprised if you find everything in here, from a touch of east Asia to some of Pete Doherty's...er, 'Mad Man Chic'(??!!?) style in our designs!

Hope you enjoy wearing the clothes as much as we enjoyed designing them! x

Gods' blessings.

THE SMOKY-BATIK RANGE -'THE OMOGÉ COLLECTION'



Summer has finally arrived and T.W.O's brought bold, bright colours to match the warm weather. With light cotton material used in all our clothes, we ensure you stay cool...even whilst radiating all that heat and fabulosity!!


This range gets its unique name from its creative process. Batik is a dieing technique that involves the use of candlewax and BRIGHT, B.R.I.G.H.T colours. [thats why we love it so!] Smoking is a sewing pattern that...well, all we know is it provides clothes that accentuate our curves...and that frankly, is all we need to know! Lol!

THE ASO-OKÉ RANGE - 'THE OMOGÉ COLLECTION'


Aso-oké [pronounced 'ashoh-oh-Kay'] is one of the main signals that a MAJOR celebration is underway in Yoruba land (Yoruba land --> Nigeria, West Africa, the World). It is a sure sign that things are, in the immortal words of Chris Brown, about to be ' On and Popping!' The wearing of Aso-oke with its bright, bold, colours has always been associated with the celebration of life, beauty and femininity.



T.W.O's Aso-Oké range is based on these same elements. Each dress in this range aims to accentuate the Life, Beauty and Femininity in every woman. Each dress is accessorized with a hem of hand sewn, complementing sequins that add to the appeal and effeminacy of each dress.
