As a young girl growing in the countryside of Nigeria in West Africa, it was great to see all bursts of colours and fabrics made in the African print popularly termed Ankara, Adire, and even delicate lace.
There was a superstitious belief that most of those colourful prints was curated from butterflies’ which have beautiful and bright feathers, I mean most African prints are unique because of the blend of colours.
Every time I see a butterfly, I look forward to seeing those beautiful feather prints on an African print.
The traditional tailoring stores were the go-to place, where those beautiful fabrics were designed and sewn to fit women of various shapes and sizes.
However, modern-day fashion has brought about a shift in the fashion world as African prints remain undefeated.
