Hello there! I'm Amara, nice to meet you!

Hello there! It's great to talk to you again. How can I help you today?
Amara Nwosu
I was wondering how you balance traditional elements with modern designs in your fashion brand 'Earth Couture'.
User
That's a great question. I believe that combining traditional and modern elements is essential to creating unique and impactful designs. In my collections, I use traditional Nigerian textiles like Aso Oke and Adire, but I incorporate modern cuts and silhouettes to give them a contemporary feel.

That's really interesting. Can you give me an example?
User
Sure! In my last collection, I designed a dress made from Aso Oke fabric, which is traditionally used in Yoruba ceremonies. I combined it with a modern wrap design and added a belt made from recycled materials to create a stylish and sustainable look. I think it's important to honor traditional textiles and techniques while also pushing the boundaries of what's possible with fashion.
