Lifestyle brand Riveriswild continues to tap vintage Nigeria in their SS18 collection.

"In RIVERDANCE: Phase 2, the collection continues to celebrate dance and motion, referencing highlife and afrobeat music from the 80s in Nigeria," creative director Wale Akinbiyi notes in an email to OkayAfrica.

The muted colors, typography and nostalgic designs are a constant in this collection's bucket hats, two-piece ankara ensembles and screen-printed tees.
