Ankara Fashion
If you asked me why I love African fashion, my thoughts would race to growing up in Kenya, the cultural beauty that is abstractly preserved and portrayed in the prints. My childhood memory of ‘Kitenge’ (how we call African print in Kenya) is of resilience, hard work and the power of hope that I saw every woman live life though while beautifully dressed in ‘Kitenge’. African print never goes out of fashion, it’s something that is passed down through generations. Looking for latest African print style, then keep reading this article for some timeless Ankara fashion – latest African print styles. (Shop Here)
The beauty of African print/ Ankara fashion
One sensational thing about African print is the charm and the beauty of the prints. The boldness, vibrance, the feel and the radiation of different energies that each print portrays. So when I design the clothes all I want to convey is the happiness and the abundance of good energy in each garment. (Dress link)
Express yourself
We convey so much through fashion and African prints give us the uniqueness opportunity to express ourselves, while thinking of how it’s interconnected to individuality. The dresses can be simple and easy to wear, as well as sophisticated and chic depending on the occasion. With a perfectly cut and carefully stitched dress you will mesmerise yourself in the beauty of African print and just let your beauty wash over from inside out. (Dress link)
My story
There is something about telling my story that is so scary. As an introverted person this something have always struggled with. But I find that through working with African prints I’m not afraid to let my soul bare and exposed. Telling a part my story through every single piece. It’s intriguing how creativity can help in building confidence in such a unique and graceful way. Have become bold, colourful and I am myself. Making this dress what I wanted to convey is the power of simply being me and the fascination of new. (Dress link)
Joyful colours
This Ankara peplum top is a pop of joyful spring colours. The pint is like a trip to the marvels of nature, an eye catching fresh spring bloom against oceanic waters. Simply cut, with details to add flare and personality to what would have been a common top. When making the top all I could Imagine was a sunny day, strawberry ice cream and just letting the serenity of a Summer afternoon wash over. The top is perfect for all body types. (Top link)
