Contemporary African Designs from Ifenkili

American born Nigerian, Ifenkili keeps in touch with her roots whilst never out stepping the rhythm of the streets and displays her work frequently in shows and festivals to make sure she stays fresh. The basis of her brand Ifenkili is handcraft which is an African tradition that must be upheld even as styles move forward. The traditional light and colourful Ankara material she uses tells a story in every pattern and her work brings out that drama using simple lines, elegant silhouettes and complimentary textures.
