CELEBRITIES WEARING ANKARA

Ankara are vibrant patterns of very rich colorful designs. It is mostly made of 100% cotton or cotton poly material.  Originally the wax resist dyed fabrics were exported to the Gold Coast and spread over West Africa into Central Africa and were largely produced in Nigeria. Now they're largely produced in Ghana and have strong cultural, social and economic importance.

There's a little bit of a love and hate thing going on at the moment about Ankara. Some say its lost its uniqueness because its more in the media, others say you get bored of it after a while. I personally....love AND hate it. I love that it's unique and so versatile and it can be made into anything, but on the other hand it can be expensive and some patterns are just damn right ugly.

Here's me in a custom made ankara outfit that I was sent years ago. I was sent the fabric, however the design (top&skirt) was completely chosen by me and made for me.
