Based in Germany, but inspired by Benin, streetwear brand NNB (Noh Nee Benin) has launched a new collection with an aim of elevating perceptions about Africa. By taking the heralded ancient kingdom of Dahomey as its inspiration, their latest designs focus on the spirit and culture of a majestic period. The brand is here to revive the history of the fallen West African kingdom and is manifesting it through streetwear. A place of colorful bliss, filled with energy and royalty in the everyday things life is filled with. NNB’s debut collection, titled ‘Postcards’ comes from the now fallen kingdom of Dahomey, at least what photographer Sina Lesnik and 3D artist Andrei Warren image the kingdom would look like.
