The growing trend of Ankara fashion

I am not sure where or how this name ‘Ankara’ originated from but it has become a household name with respect to African fabric. While it is very common in many African countries, particularly West African countries, Ankara fabric continue to be a growing fashion trend on the global fashion scene with celebrities like Beyoncé & Rhianna having been spotted in them.

There is a lot of choices of design from subtle to very vibrant colours. The appeal of the finished product – which sometimes comes with matching plain colours – depends on the creativity of the designer.
