A sight to behold.Yesterday I was at 1st Impression Designs
at The Mall,Westlands getting my ankara on.I just wanted to leave the
place with all these fabrics.. too bad I couldn’t :-(
It’s called Ankara and Kente in west Africa,kitenge in East Africa.These are beautiful native fabrics that have been used since like forever,to make clothing .They’re also used to make accessories and shoes.Ankara just recently gained popularity especially among us young people. Let’s face it..as recently as 2 years ago most of us young folks DID NOT even want to imagine ourselves wearing it.Well..i didn’t.These days,these fabrics are tailored stylishly. In the past they were associated with the older generation.These days I will rock ankara/kente/kitenge fabric gladly.It’s here to stay now and forever.In case you ever buy the fabric,here are some few ideas:
Ankara coats:
For the guys:
Ankara dresses ladies!
An Ankara bowtie and earrings:
Ankara bags!
And let’s not leave out the shoes:
Celebreties are doing it too:
Beyonce
Elle Varner
Nicki Minaj,this one is by Versace
Kim Kardashian
And finally Le Me(to the left) in kanga :D with my good friend Mercy:
