Trends in the Ankara Fashion
Ankara clothing is loved by Nigerian
women as aso-ebi fabric, sewn into different styles and worn at
weddings. It’s common to see ankara combined with lace, chiffon or other
materials. Even when ankara is used to sew casual wears and other
traditional wears.
About Ankara Cloth: The African Cloth
For the benefit of those who don’t have
an idea about the origin and history of this fabric, ankara is the name
of the popular, patterned, cotton fabric extensively worn by Africans.
Some call it ankara print, ankara wax, or simply ‘wax’ or
‘print’. Ankara is synonymous with ‘traditional wear’ in Nigeria.
Popular brands of this fabric include: vlisco ankara wax, uniwax, Ghana
wax, English wax, Dutch wax, Nigerian wax, woodin print and a whole lot
of other African print fabric brands.
Because this fabric is commonly called
the ‘African cloth’, one would think that it originated from Africa.
Thing is, it did not – the Europeans were some of those that started
manufacturing the fabric that we all now know as ‘ankara’. In fact, the
ones regarded as the high quality ankara are made in Europe – with
Vlisco’s Hollandais being one of so-called best ankara wax.
