About Us
Creative Director
“As a designer, I believe fashion can be a powerful tool for social change by promoting an understanding and appreciation of different cultures. Through the joining of denim
and traditional fabrics from the Republic of the Niger, I create clothing to celebrate
the beauty, diversity, rich history, and traditions of West African
culture through the use of geometric patterns, symbolic motifs, and natural dyes.
I remain committed to using sustainable practices in my work by sourcing fabrics
from ethical supplies using eco-friendly dyes and finishes.”
