Creative director of TeKay Design Ms. Kimma Wreh says ‘A very important aspect of human visual experience is color’. ‘Color is powerful! Colors are fraught with symbolism, and cultural influences there is also a physiological affect when color is applied…’
For the spring season, TeKay Designs has introduced an ethnic-wear evening line of colourful sexy tops, skirts and dresses designed for the woman who is not afraid to show her curves. The garments are made with Aso-ake fabric, hand woven in Nigeria, and infused with gorgeous laces, trims, and scarves. The Aso-ake fabrics are limited edition and some are one of a kind.
In addition, TeKay Designs offers an ethnic casual and semi-formal collection of multicoloured jumpsuits, jackets, skirts, tops, and dresses made of Ankara fabrics and adorned with trims. Lifestyle trends can be influenced by social-cultural changes, such as artistic movements. ‘As a tribute to African culture I’ve incorporated colorful hand woven kente fabrics into my line of bridal gowns. Today’s brides are demanding cultural elements that complement traditional European style wedding dresses‘ states Kimma Wreh.
