So, ankara splashed unto the runways a couple years ago and there seems to be no signs of stopping. My sister Lola was approached by a freelancer for Vogue (British) who asked to use one of her pictures in an article she was writing about the fabric. Here's the cover and the article. Lola's picture is circled. I've heard so many reasons people give as to why they do not want to get a dress made out of ankara. Funny enough, major stores like H&M have already had funky prints in their dresses for a while now. I'll say don't underestimate how you'd look before you try it. Most people think the colors are way too bold or too vibrant to be worn but that's not true. My advice will be to start with the colors you like, then the patterns you like. If you don't think you can do a dress, start off with an accessory like a purse or a scarf (see Andrea modeling his on our Inspiration page =) It's winter time, cold and dreary. Why don't you start planning your spring/ summer wardrobe now?
