During a time when the world was at a standstill, Ayissi turned to his African roots in more ways than one.
In lieu of dark and somber tonality reflective of the times, he created a collection that brings out joy and beauty. He also utilized fabric from past collections to skillfully create new pieces. The result is a bold and colorful collection that is intended to be sold in other fabrics based on availability.
