Class is back in session! For the past month & half I have been participating in the @bklynfa along with 14 other designers. We were selected to pioneer this incubator and highlight sustainable fashion using a "Les Sapeurs" theme as inspiration for a capsule collection we are creating. Being back in school has been exciting and daunting at times for me. I've taken classes that I've never before. (Remember when I shared my fashion illustration with you guys??!) And had many challenges similar to being an entrepreneur surface..who gets hit with the procrastination bug sometimes??🙋🏾Lol. But, this program has definitely educated and reminded me about key tools needed to scale my business. Schools out in May when we will have a fashion show showdown! Thanks to @metronewyork for the write up! Stay tuned #nakigirls!

Who's #oscars ready?? I've always loved watching the #redcarpet of any award show to see all the glamorous gowns. I usually end up watching something else after the pre show is finished, unless there's a film/actor I'm routing for (Come on Get Out!🙌🏾). It's been a dream of mine to see my garments float down a prestigious carpet...and everyday I'm getting closer! This dress was inspired by the community & culture I grew up in. Lapas are simple everyday skirts worn by women on the African Continent made w/ a couple of yards of fabric. Usually with age, status, or spiritual reference a woman will "upgrade "to a double lapa, which is an additional layer of fabric on top of the 1st. I made this dress from an embroidered ceremonial west African fabric 5 hours before I hit the carpet & I was definitely inspired by my roots. Here's to a night filled with beauty, style, culture, and grace! -Sharufa ✨✨✨

I've never been a strong drawer. The way I design is very physical & visual. I primarily drape and conceptualize my garments into existence. Recently, I took a fashion illustration class at @moodfabrics as apart of a program I'm in(will share this story soon!). It was the first for me. The process, practice, patience, and talent that comes with making a great illustration is very detailed. Shout out to all the amazing illustrators out there! I definitely have a new found respect for the work. My homework for the weekend is to create my best illustration of a design I'm working on...wish me luck y'all! Because the struggle is real! Lol. 😳😩-Sharufa
