I am interested in exploring the history of the gele and pinpointing how Ayra and her team are culturally remixing this iconic garment. Further, I ideate on why this image resonates so much with my generation, and how cultural remixing reproduces itself through popular culture and social media. 

In this moment of my life, I believe style is the central medium of my creativity. It is the way I understand myself and the world around me. Fashion is an industry. Garments adorn the body. But style is essence. One you can see, feel, and bear witness to.
