So soon after I got this Voila (by Vlisco) print I found out my mom had the same print - except her seamstress made a dress with it. I decided to go the exact opposite way and design a power suit cape blazer - feminine with a touch of masculinity and bad ass-ness.
Akwiyah is a personal style outlet. When I'm in Ghana I take advantage of the incredible fabrics that are synonymous with our culture. I get the opportunity to share our beautiful fabrics on here to who ever may stumble upon them.
The name Akwiyah (ay-kwee-yah) originates from Ghana - my hometown. In the Ashanti Region in Ghana when a child is born he/she is named after the day he/she was born. I was born on a Wednesday or Akwiydah. The name Akwiyah is derived from Akwiyadah. Contact: abiakua7891@gmail.com
