Colour Blocking: The Ankara Way

Colour Blocking is the latest trend this season and it’s very interesting that people come out boldly to express themselves through colours.  Ankara famously known as ankara fabric (Dutch wax) or in general traditional/African material is a combination of colour, history, art and design. The graphic statement on these designs for the most part, mingles with colours and sometimes creates a bold shock in designs. Most ankara designs are inspired by tradition, history, culture, colors and so on. In summary, they have a story behind them. Some of the great fabric designers are Vlisco and Da Viva.These fabric designers have inspired African clothing designers around the world to create fascinating and mind blowing designs.
