Interview | Unity: Dress-scapes of Accra

Set in Accra, Ghana, Unity is centered on the reemergence of African print in fashion. While following fashion designer Allan David and his wife, Cynthia, Unity shows the diversity of tailor-made fashion and hybrid styles, the ways that African wear is used, and the expression of culture through African prints. The process of sewing a dress reveals the marriage of both fabric and design, tradition and creativity, and husband and wife.
