 The Five non-binary and sustainable pieces I've curated during lonely times and  sleepless nights for summer, tittled BÀ KÀ NÀ a Yoruba term that means genderless.

During the research for this project, i want to know what  Non binary is termed in  Yoruba language, couldn't find a word, until i discovered BÀ KÀ NÀ means genderless 

The Non binary gender is one of the oldest gender originated in Africa, our gods; Sango, Esu, Ogun, Sopana and  the likes  weren't refer by a particular gender

 Basically  i believe Yoruba is a genderless language, there aren't pronouns for a particular gender in the Yoruba culture, instead pronouns like They/Them were mostly used for elderly people,  people of worth, people of higher rank and class, orishas and other gods, i have decided to make the nonbinary gender, the gender questioning, gender fluid,  masc or  fem,  my costumer target for this capsule collection, being your true self, beautiful and comfortable in what you wear is a basic part in affirming one's gender.

I have decided to work with prints that plays well with indigo and white, as a very spiritual designer that i am and I very much believe in Mama god - Yemoja 
Indigo and white represents holiness and spirituality
