Baloji is a charismatic poet, composer-lyricist/beatmaker, scriptwriter, actor and performer, video artist and stylist. Critically acclaimed for his modern interpretation of Congolese music, Baloji infused his savvy and modern style into 4 unique styles of Komono sunglasses; the over-sized Kitoko frame, Dizzy, Tshala & Mujinga.
The collection embraces African elegance, of its era and current trends while drawing from a past colonial aesthetic model, that remains constant as a powerful inspiration and influence. This refinement implies a kind of exuberance because it defies racial and social categorisation. Gold because it has that ostentatious quality, yet the malachite remains dominant and sometimes resembles a green African tortoiseshell.
The collection embraces African elegance.
Komono is proud to bring the raw energy and beauty of Jean-Michel Basquiat to the world of fashion accessories. Each and every watch in the capsule collection boasts a unique printed fabric wristband. No two watches are alike.
There are six timepieces to choose from, with each one featuring a different detail of the late painter's work from his '80s era.
