Ghanaian award-winning fashion designer Yolanda (Yoli) Koomson is set to unveil her new Daakye Holiday Collection with a fashion show on Saturday, 14th December, at Kempinski Galleria SLW in Accra.
Explaining the creative inspiration behind the collection, Koomson said, “‘Daakye,’ an Akan word meaning That Which Is To Come, reflects our commitment to honouring heritage while imagining the future of African craftsmanship.”
For this season, the Creative Director draws inspiration from the resilient raffia palm culture, its utility and artistry. Its raw texture, natural warmth and generational symbolism serve as the foundation for a collection that merges tradition with modern architectural design.
The colour palette echoes the earthy strength and understated elegance of raffia. Silhouettes combine sculptural structure with fluid draping, representing the dialogue between memory and forward motion.
Key pieces include the Architectural Blazer, Draped Gown, Sculptural Trousers and standout separates embroidered with metallic threads.
Fashion enthusiasts are invited to the event to experience a vision of tomorrow woven with the wisdom of yesterday.
