Collection Recollection - ÀMI
The collection draws inspiration from the African tradition of strength and evolution. ÀMI is the Yoruba word for symbol. Each piece in this collection of amazing fashion accessories tells a piece the
African renaissance story; each piece is part of a narrative of Courage, Strength, Hope,
Pride and Prosperity.
To wear ÀMI is to wear Africa.
The clean, minimal feel of the collection is the effortless blend of Adele Dejak’s luxurious
aesthetic and Afrominima’s philosophy. Afrominima is compounded from ‘Afrocentric Minimalism.’ The movement is about design, ethos, philosophy, lifestyle and African culture.
