As EIC of Vanichi, I'm honored to present my latest project with The Africa Channel and Vanichi Magazine. We imagined an alternative universe where beloved Hollywood movie icons wore modern African fashion. Embodying Audrey Hepburn's character from Breakfast at Tiffany's is the talented Elle Drane. Elle is wearing earrings by Ammanii (Egypt + USA), a cowrie necklace by Tegaa (Gambia + USA) and gown by Sarayaa (Senegal). Discover fashion that has a story, is ethically made and handcrafted by artisans using ancestral skills alongside modern ones. Fashion can expand our understanding of other cultures and ourselves.

Fashion can expand our understanding of other cultures. The clothes we wear can tell us more about our humanity. My latest project with Vanichi and The Africa Channel imagines an alternate universe where some of our favorite Hollywood film icons are donned in luxury and/or ready-to-wear fashions from designers in Africa and within the African Diaspora.

Another installment from my campaign celebrating African + African American emerging designers. As seen on The Africa Channel x Vanichi Magazine. @Regrann from @vanichimagazine - What is #Style? @vanichimagazine has partnered with @theafricachannel to present a PSA that expands the definitions of mainstream fashion.
