Koles Collection: The Process

Every piece begins with inspiration – the choice of fabric, the feel of texture, and the spark of design. From sketches to garments, from technical sheets to patterns, each stage unfolds through modeling, scaling, cutting, and fitting. Along the way come adjustments, measurements, ironing, and quiet moments of observation where intuition guides the hand.
Concepts that accompany us on our journey of Pattern Creation and design
These SOSO Africa garments emerge from a careful rhythm of creation, where each stitch and adjustment reveals a story of precision and discovery. Together, they chart the continuous journey of prototype development that gives life to our newest collection.

“I see fashion as a way of preparing ourselves for the world outside, a bridge between our inner and outer worlds that helps us step into who we want to be and move through life with intention,” by Koles Magic.

My style speaks fluent magic. Fashion is magic – I believe in its charm. For me, fashion is storytelling through fabric, confidence through colour, and identity in motion. It’s pure alchemy. – Koles Magic
The beauty of patience reveals itself in work that takes its time. These pieces took shape with patience and intention, molded like art meant to breathe and move. Photographing them on someone who carries the spirit of an artist felt natural, almost inevitable. – Seun Oderinde
