Tia Cibani AW20 collection
SALOME

West Africa’s rich culture, the contemporary artist Atta Kwami of Ghana and the Herero tribe of Namibia form the inspiration for the Tia Cibani AW20 collection.

Expressive and alluring tones set the stage. The deep dark hue of ‘Indigo’ blue and the tropical shade of ‘Acacia’ green ground the palette while the playful candy colors of ‘Ginger’ yellow, baby blue ‘Pigeon’ and icing pink ‘Flamingo’ hint at an Indian summer vibe. Bright pops of fiery orange ‘Mango’ and blood red ‘Ruby’ delight the senses as accent shades hidden within prints and trimmings. ‘Opal’ cream and ‘Elephant’ grey both neutralize, and calm the palette giving it a sophisticated rendering.

Taking inspiration from the traditional patchwork techniques and wax prints of West Africa, and the woven Kente cloth of Ghana the Fall/Winter 2020 collection is abundant with pattern. Atta Canvas is a take on the artist’s larger than life contemporary flag like paintings applied to a silk & wool twill. Salome Patchwork is a mash up of traditional wax print swirls and abstract graphics playfully exaggerated on a paper touch cotton poplin, and Kente Jacquard is a micro basket weave cloth that is luxurious to the touch.

The collection gives a nod to the traditional West African dance of the Sufi tribe. Ruffles, godets, crushed pleats, full circle skirts, tiers and butterfly sleeves will inspire twirling Whirling Dervish style.
From dresses and skirts to coats, you can easily find a favorite for you to twirl in for days on end…
