Since gaining the nods of some who are the masters in the fashion world, she hasn’t looked back. Stella Jean Fall’s 2014 collection was majorly inspired by Africa. This can be seen in her good use of the African Wax Print. 98% of the 30 piece collection had Ankara, if not the whole collection. The odd thing majorly about the collection is that there were few black or brown models. In fact, just 3 were on the catwalk wearing the outfits. It might have been subconscious. Also, her way of appealing and selling to more variety of fashionistas, be it white, brown, black or yellow. Anyways pretty soon like they normally do, the Ankara Wax Print might lose its African Identity, with the European laying claim to it one way or the other.
