This collection is an ode to one of the influential people in my life, My late grandmother Ezinne Anthonia Loloeke Ihechu. It also pays homage to the women who are the figureheads of their families, the mothers, the warriors, and the queens. THE MATRIARCH. Each piece embodies the different attributes of the Matriarch. The mother nurtures and guides her children. The warrior who is ready, to protect and fight for what she loves, and the Queen who is the beacon and role model for all to follow. The Matriarch is presented in her regal beauty and affluence reminiscent of my grandmother. The elements depicted take inspiration from African and south-east Asian cultures I am deeply fascinated with. With this collection, I want people to celebrate the women in their lives and never take for granted the contributions they have made to get them where they are.

The warrior who is ready, to protect and fight for what she loves.
