When it comes to designing clothing, one of the most important decisions for me is fabric and textiles. That is the thing that holds a collection together, tells a story, and makes a character come alive.
For the Kimono Style Suit, I combined my inspiration for the traditional Japanese Kimono, the African Kimono, and my futuristic character.

In my experience, as a time-traveler, being intentional about what you wear cannot be taken for granted. And this is what I feel African fashion in the year 3026 will embody.
It is not a decoration or a trend. It is a social communication, similar to the evolution of Japanese Kimonos and African textiles.
It is wearable art, like the blending of brocade fabrics and the kimono suit effect in this piece.
Finally, it is something I like to call a smart heirloom. The way the Japanese carry kimonos as family heirlooms and Ghanaians carry kente as family heirlooms. The value of African textiles in the future will increase even more with the advancement of technology and spiritual awakening.
That is what the Kimono Style Suit represents for me.

Smart heirloom.
That is what African fashion is in the year 3026. Not a decoration or a trend. It is social communication. Wearable art.
This one is mine.
Before I designed anything for anyone else in this collection, I had to figure out what I would wear. What it had to communicate about who I am, where I've been, and what I'm carrying, in a room full of people who have already decided who I am.
The answer is the kimono suit set. Built from two different brocades that shouldn't match, and read as one thing, like they were always meant to find each other.
And when you wear it, the galaxy moves with you.

A thousand years from now, Africa didn't just survive.
She transformed.
Technology grew from the earth. Culture didn't disappear, it magnified. Every symbol carried more meaning than it did before. Every garment spoke a language older than any century it passed through.
Five of us came through from there. To here. To now.
I'm Dagny, and I am from the future.
And I came back, because someone had to make the clothes.
This is Orbit. This is the first transmission.

"Futurism without memory is a form of amnesia. It risks rebuilding the same conditions of harm under the guise of innovation. Futurism without accountability, without archival consciousness and political memory work is aesthetics dressed as progress. In the context of Black spatial life, Futurism can never be mere projection. It is continuity work. Ancestral method." - Amahra Spence
I have been reflecting on interruptions. How does it influence us? In this article, I share my research and insight on how I feel these interruptions influence African fashion.
