“THE NAVRONGO PURSUIT” COLLECTION BY AJEPOMAA DESIGN GALLERY

Ajepomma Design Gallery presents their new collection; “The Navrongo Pursuit”. Navrongo Pursuit is part of the Monsoon 2013 collection which factors in the transaction from the current dry season into the rainy season.

This collection represents embarking on a journey and the prospect of looking out into the open and seeing opportunity, a bright future….a new beginning.

The age-old tale of the town of Navrongo and its founding fathers, three brothers in Ghana’s north-eastern savannah factors in with our three color schemes, earthy green (the grass), muted greys (pre-dawn) and bright coral (fading sunset).

The word Navrongo is a combination of the words “Naga” which means foot and “Voro” which means soft.

The first steps of a journey begin with the lifting of the foot and after that one should tread softly and surely towards ones destination. Navrongo pursuit is the perfect ensemble for that journey.

By using muted earthy tones like olive, beige, charcoal grey with a punch of coral and salmon along shimmery gold and silver hues, this collection stays true to the signature of ADG aesthetic; clothing fr the strong confident woman.

Fabrics used in the collection include Chantilly lace, silky chiffon, and signature wax block print. The addition of leopard print represents the dominant animal of the savannah region.

Technique such as overlay pleats to form soft structured silhouettes with chiffon and tulle. Most of the designs come in different sizes ranging from a UK size 6-18 to a US size 2-16.
