In a new move to launch and showcase his new clothing line, Elikem Kumordzie has combined his years in film and tailoring to create ‘Pilolo’, a fashion film.
The film is connected to the release of the new sequin collection themed, 'The Tailors Sequence'.
'Pilolo' is an outdoor game where an object like a stick is hidden while the participants have either closed their eyes or are not in the same location. At the shout of "pi-lo-lo", the participants run from their hideout to search for the item.
The last person who does not find the object loses.
Elikem Kumordzie's film depicts the real-life indigenous Ghanaian outdoor game but with a twist.
"But in the case of the fashion film, the last man who loses is stripped off the sequin look and reduced to a monster and added on to the 'Dracula' team," the designer, Elikem Kumordzie said in an interview.
The film shows how sequin fabrics can be used in different forms to construct garments for both males and females.
While an actor and designer, Elikem Kumordzie is creatively pushing both film and fashion through Ghanaian culture with his new sequin collection.
'Pilolo' also sends the message to other designers that they can creatively showcase their pieces and collections through film and storytelling.
The film features Elikem Kumordzie himself as the lead character who doubles as the writer and director and the famed Haillie Sumney who played the supporting role.
