Say hello to Senegalese designer, Sophie Zinga!
Showcasing again on Nigerian soil, models hit the runway minutes ago with pieces from her “Petaaw”
collection. A word from her native tongue of ‘Wolof’, the “Petaaw”
collection is an ode to Africa’s once monetary system – the cowry shell.
According to the brand – “The
cowry shell until this day holds great significance in culture,
fashion, and indigenous religious beliefs all throughout Africa.“
The
collection for Spring/Summer 2016 is sleek and classy with clean
hemlines, clean and cowry-coloured pieces and, most importantly, cowry
embellishments.
See the collection below!
