Hemma creates fresh, elegant collections using authentic hand-woven Kente, a textile rich in African royal tradition. Kente began to flourish in West Africa in the 17th century and still remains prominent representing social prestige, luxury, and cultural sophistication. Each garment is uniquely handmade from intricately hand-woven Kente imported from Ghana. By incorporating the same techniques used to dress Ghanaian nobility for centuries, Hemma allows each client to exude royalty. By investing in quality pieces that last a lifetime, the lives of Ghanaian school children are also impacted. A percentage of all proceeds will be donated to a West African middle school where the designers instructed classes.

Hella Dope Kente Sneakers...The time for Kente has arrived!

Adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott - Nizza 2 Hi - Fall / Winter 2009

Jeremy Scott has done it again...always edgy, sexy and innovative. He's designed 2 great multiculturally inspired sneakers as part of the Adidas Originals Nizza 2 Hi collection. While one sports a unique Kenta Cloth design across the upper, the other features a world map design, which also complements his African influenced dress collection, Tut TV. They both feature a solid canvas construction, and are sure to sell out as soon as they are released as part of the Fall / Winter 2009 collection.

Let us know what you think?
