Africa Fashion Week London 2025 lit up with creativity, colour, and culture—and one standout moment came from luxury womenswear brand Simeogieme, which unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Love Bloom.

Founded in the UK but deeply rooted in Nigerian heritage, Simeogieme brought a fresh perspective to the runway—one that beautifully blended high-fashion elegance with a powerful personal story of resilience.

A Collection Born from Triumph

Creative Director Osime Saibu drew from her own journey of overcoming leukaemia to create Love Bloom. Each garment was infused with symbols of divine love, faith, and hope. Flowing capes evoked the feeling of being wrapped in God’s embrace, while delicate floral motifs reflected grace and the beauty that can emerge even in life’s hardest moments.

This season, Osime introduced a creative twist—replacing her signature hand-painted prints with exclusive digital artworks, marking a bold new chapter for the brand while still honouring her artistic roots.

More Than Fashion: A Testimony

For Osime, Love Bloom is not just fashion—it’s deeply personal.

“Love Bloom is more than just a collection; it is my testimony. Every piece embodies a story of God’s faithfulness. I hope women who wear these creations feel embraced, valued, and revitalised,” she shared.

This heartfelt message set Love Bloom apart, turning the runway into not just a showcase of style, but also a celebration of faith, healing, and the power of storytelling through design.

Part of a Global Celebration

The collection debuted as part of the two-day Africa Fashion Week London, a platform that unites designers from across Africa and the diaspora. With its mix of couture craftsmanship, cultural pride, and moving narrative, Love Bloom stood out as one of the event’s highlights.
