Layers of fabric symbolize layers of meaning in this new collection by Mai Gidah.

Tapping
into his personal journey, Ali Alec Abdulrahim recalls the struggles and bumps in the road he faced after leaving his native Ghana. The garments and their finishes serve as recollections of his roots, reflected in the earthy tones combined with white and black; a token of the clashing of innocence and the unknown.

The use of a textured criss-cross pattern is a means of expressing his personal, winding path.
