Kenzo, the long-running brand now helmed by Opening Ceremony founders Carol Kim and Humberto Leon, goes to Nigeria for its latest collaboration.

Director Akinola Davies and photographer Ruth Ossai teamed up with Kenzo to created a stunning series of images, and an accompanying short film. The visuals feature cast models in the Igbo community of Nsukka — Ossai’s hometown.

Titled Gidi Gidi Bụ Ugwu Eze (which translates to “Unity Is Strength”), this short film gives a brief window into the lives of Nigeria’s youth.
