    Let this flowing long sleeve maxi dress be your go to for that chic bohemian vibe. Wear as a modern long open cardigan, layered tunic with pants, or as a beach cover up. You're guaranteed to turn heads.

    The neck-to-hem buttons of the Ya Moulana dress give multiple possibilities for styling and the hidden side pockets are deep enough to hold all your essentials.

  • THE STORY
    ya-moulana-maxi-dress

    You can’t miss how comfortable the musicians look in their clothing as they move freely around the stage.

    I wanted to create a limited collection inspired by the fashion of the musicians with some key components.

    Without size constraints.

    Comfortable.

    Seasonless.

    All while still looking fabulous.

    Some are inspired by my mum’s own classic stylish pieces. All of these elements reflect the way the majority of African women dress.

  • THE PROCESS
    Working with a women-owned factory in Morocco to create the Capsule Collection pieces.
