�n Awkward Lady is an 18-piece collection by UK design duo Ife ’ s Closet . London-based sisters Titi and Tinuke Ukrinamemen were inspired to create this collection after reading the New York Times bestseller-listed memoir The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl by Issa

Rae , author and creator of the HBO series Insecure . “ The story really resonated with us as we could read events that we went through and relate to her misgivings . This collection is an acceptance and celebration of our awkwardness , from the boyish Greta playsuit to the peak sleeves details on the Adanna dress . Instead of shying away from it , we celebrate it combined with our femininity ,” said Titi Ukrinamemen . The collection features high-fashion , vintageinspired , ready-to-wear pieces in classic prints and fabric , from slimline dresses and pencil skirts , to an array of colour blocking tops , playsuits and waistcoat dusters . It is available from ifescloset . com .
