Derrick’s Aya Collection draws inspiration from the strength and symbolism of Ghanaian Adinkra, particularly the Aya fern—representing endurance, resourcefulness, and defiance.
Merging traditional African textiles like Kente and wax print with futuristic materials, the collection imagines a world where Black culture leads, evolves, and flourishes in alternate realities and technologically advanced futures.
Rooted in Afrofuturism, the Aya Collection is more than fashion—it’s a reclamation of history and a celebration of Black empowerment through bold, visionary design.
