Predating the introduction of Christianity in Igboland, same-sex marriages could take place as a result of the death of a husband where no child was produced. The woman could choose a wife and go through normal traditional marriage rites. To have children, they could freely choose a man and the child(ren) would bear the name of the woman-husband. In other cases, a single wealthy woman could choose a wife and sometimes, more than one. In our story, the women still have just themselves, at ease in their home and confident in their identity. I was important for me to produce more than a fashion lookbook - the works created are an amalgamation of Igbo culture, present and forgotten.
