After stumbling upon this article and seeing so much buzz on IG about the launch of Studio 189, a clothing brand founded by Abrima Erwiah and Rosario Dawson, I was intrigued to learn more.
Here's what the website stated about the new brand:
"STUDIO ONE EIGHTY NINE is a social enterprise created by Rosario Dawson and Abrima Erwiah that consist of creatives that seeks to provide a platform to help promote and curate African and African-inspired content through an ecommerce shopping site, a supporting agency and an artisan produced fashion collection, called FASHION RISING COLLECTION, launched in support of V-Day's One BillionRising. We focus on creating opportunities for empowerment, education and employment of artisans and creatives."
With all the bold patterns, mudcloth inspired prints, and a philanthropic mission, I'm already in love.
