ASANTE JACKET: $550.00

Here at Seventh Square we love to showcase new upcoming African-American fashion designers. Today we are showcasing the Hemma Collection. This collection is from designers Cindy Gaston and Edna Bissoon. Both Cindy and Edna launched HEMMA, a collection of luxury womenswear that incorporates the same, traditional techniques that have been used to weave fabrics for African nobility for centuries. The name HEMMA derives from the word “ohemma,” meaning queen in the Twi language of Ghana.

In the spring of 2007,these young women Cindy Gaston and Edna Bissoon studied abroad in Ghana, West Africa. While Cindy, pursued a career in law, and Edna, medicine, they also independently designed. The designers were inspired by African fashion and textiles, in particular intricately hand-woven Kente. Drawing from its rich history, they began incorporating Kente into their designs.
