These pants are old favorites. I've paired them with so many different tops and each time it feels like a new outfit. I'm pretty sure everyone at work has seen me in them 1,000 times. Not that I care ;)
This is the magic that happens when you take high fashion inspiration and cover it in hand woven African Kente fabric. My mom gifted me with two different Kente fabrics that weren't big enough for a dress individually, but I put them together and the result was this beautiful blazer dress.
Dress: Custom Made for me in Ghana based on a Kenzo dress I love
I wore this dress to a recent wedding, and I got looks as expected but for whatever reason I did not care. The fact that I had my sister next to me in a high dress with a dangerous slit also helped. Sometimes you just need a girlfriend to break the rules with you! ;)
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
