Details
The Wrapper Skirt Dress is meant to be worn as a skirt or as a dress, this style has pockets and is made of deadstock cotton and linen. This style is a tribute to the wrapper the designer's African mother and father wore, and so many others wore as they moved through the world. It can be worn as a dress with the strap around the neck halter style, strapless like a towel, or around the waist as a skirt.
The fabric the dresses are composed of is a combination of vintage pieces sourced from Oklahoma to Maine to NY, deadstock fabric from NY cutting rooms, as well as scraps and remnants collected inside the NY Garment District cutting rooms. Although each dress is unique, they are all composted of the same fabrics.
Sarah Nsikak is a Nigerian-American living in Brooklyn, New York. Her love of textiles led her to working in the fashion industry for several years after completing a Masters Degree in Art Therapy. The exorbitant amount of waste generated in the fashion industry inspired a re-routing back to her art practice. These hand quilted pieces are made exclusively using recycled material sourced from fashion designers based in New York. Special textiles are also sourced through vintage stores and estate sales.
