Habesha means to mix in Amharic, the Ethiopian language. Emerging designer Sheilla Constance Sidney harmoniously mix the African heritage with the European and Asian styles. The unique collections offer a sense of chic, of natural harmony between tradition and modernization.
The Wax, an African fabric, is one Habesha’s distinctive element. It is a patterned cotton that uses bright colors, very popular in different countries throughout Africa. The prints will be different depending on the African region:Kioys in Kenya, Kola Nut or Indigo in Gambia, Langa Lapuin South Africa, to list a few. Each tribal group has its own specific preferences for colours, designs, and each print tells a story.
