Walking into L’Enchanteur’s K.O.D.E.: Relics presentation feels like stepping into a mystical realm carefully crafted by the visionary sibling duo Dynasty and Soull Ogun. Their brand, launched in 2017, has been worn by icons like Angelina Jolie, Will Smith, Jay-Z, and  Mary J. Blige and was recently recognized as a finalist in the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.

The two continue their success, bringing their New York Fashion Week 2025 presentation to their home borough of Brooklyn. The presentation creates an avant-garde universe that feels both extraterrestrial and deeply connected to the natural world.  

Inside the showroom, a lively energy fills the space. Mannequins stand adorned with opulent gold chains embellished with L’Enchanteur in cursive, while gold, silver, and brass accessories shine under atmospheric lighting. Every detail, from the textures of garments to the position in which an item is presented, reflects Dynasty and Soull's ability to seamlessly weave spirituality, artistry, and high fashion aesthetics into one collection.  

Immediately eye-catching, a mannequin stands proudly dressed in a lavishly patterned garment with vibrant geometric patterns in shades of blue, purple, pink, yellow, and green. An intricate golden headpiece made up of interlocking plates sits atop the mannequin’s head, while golden chains in the signature font spelling L’Enchanteur veil the face, creating a mask-like effect. The intricate design evokes the essence of cultural garments reimagined with a modern flare.  

Throughout the presentation, one-of-a-kind custom Nike Air Max sneakers from the collection become a focal point of the conversation. One pair, propped up on a cork pedestal with a raw crystal placed beneath, is wrapped in silver chains with charms such as a key and keyhole and the brand’s signature cursive logo chain, an element that is seen throughout the showcase.  Nearby, another pair features delicate black lace flowers, fusing streetwear and decorated artistry.  

A beautifully curated wooden shelving unit stands at the heart of the collection.  Handcrafted, the shelves are filled with symbolic objects and ornate jewelry, displaying a story through carefully arranged details. Small compartments house a mix of treasures and talismans, from miniature gold figurines to a collection of stacked rings to books such as Alchemy &  Mysticism, reinforcing the inspiration behind the collection.

A gold comb with turquoise embellishments sits atop stacked vintage books, while a small figurine with colorful decorative stones spouting out in a place where a head would be imagined stands beside a framed image.  The cabinet's drawers feature ornate gold handles in shapes that resemble serpents. The shelving unit alone feels like an altar and a window into the soul of K.O.D.E.: Relics. 

Amid the music, drinks, and enjoyment of the meticulous details of the presentation, I find a moment to speak with Dynasty and Soull about their brand, their latest collection, and the inspirations that drive them.  

What were your biggest driving inspirations behind this collection?  

Soull: It always reflects our upbringing, childhood, and how we see the world. We just got back from visiting our Dad in Nigeria. So that pushed everything forward in how we wanted to tell the story. But we’ve been working on this collection for a minute now because it conveys how we view time and how time manages and explores relics. 

You mentioned your upbringing. How has being from Brooklyn influenced your collections and paths as designers?  

Dynasty: It’s always inspiring the collection because it’s where we’re from. We draw from it.  Life in Brooklyn is like Mecca for so many different backgrounds and upbringings. So, growing up, we were able to fuse a lot of what we were learning and what we were seeing around us, and that was always inspiring our style. So now, as designers, it comes right out because it’s part of us at this point.

Fashion is constantly evolving. How do you see your role in shaping its future and making a difference?  

Soull: Doing our own thing, having an exhibition during a typical fashion week and runway shows. We’re exhibiting our work so that a lot of people can take it in in a different way. They’re able to digest it more efficiently.  

Dynasty: Like good food. 

Soull: Yeah. Following our own path consistently is the way that we change it within pretty much.  

How do you balance avant-garde aesthetics with wearability? Soull: By being us.  

Dynasty: How do we balance it? I think there’s a close tie between that. I think you can really do that if you’re dedicated to how you wanna make things available to people through your work.  So I think that I mean, it’s kinda easy. It’s easier than people think.  

Soull: It is easy. I mean, I think it’s also just being it. That’s the thing. Dynasty and I are very avant-garde, and we intermingle in the streets. We’re from Flatbush. So we walk around a bit avant-garde. That was how we were raised. We always had a different alternative aesthetic anyway, and then we also had to blend that with our surroundings. So, it came as second nature to us. So I feel like in the design aspect, it’s second nature. 

What emotions or reactions do you hope the audience will take away from this beautiful presentation?  

Dynasty: Ooo ahhh. Wow! What’s that? Oh, they do furniture? Oh my god.

Soull: Inspiration, being inspired, evolution, exploring themselves within, and seeing what that actually looks like in their work. 

Dynasty: And also leaving them with the question, “What will they do next?”
