NGUVU
Nguvu means strength in the swahili language. Scarification was a form of beautification as well as a test of one's strength in Traditional African society.
The textures and patterns are inspired by the raised surface of the scars whereas the mix of both vibrant and dull colors emulate the environment at this time period.
This collection is made for the African woman in the diaspora who is in a new climate and seeks a connection to her origins through her clothing.
The colours, textures and embellishments come together seamlessly to tell the beautiful story of traditional mark making.
The knit swatches in this collection are colorful, playful and bold.
