Abstract
It was the intent of this designer to contribute to the field by delving into a unique, hands-on encounter with artisan yardage. The textile was acquired in Accra, Ghana, by the client who requested an ensemble appropriate for international business occasions. She described her experiences in Ghana as inspirational. The designer purposed to create an ensemble appropriate for business events reflecting the client's experiences in Africa.
