How does your cultural background or heritage play a role in your designs?
My cultural background plays a huge role in my designs. Growing up in a traditional Ghanaian household, I was constantly surrounded by rich textures, bold patterns, silhouettes and vibrant colours that are deeply rooted in Ghanaian culture. The craftsmanship and story-telling behind each woven garment has always inspired me. Whether it's through the use of traditional techniques or the way I merge cultural references with modern ideas , My culture is somehow woven into everything I create.
About the Collection
PALMWINE IceCREAM unveils its Fall/Winter 2025/26 collection, “LIFE MOODBOARD”, a profound exploration of time, growth, and transformation. Expanding on the heartfelt tribute to founder Kusi Kubi’s mother in the previous collection, “LIFE MOODBOARD” delves deeper, tracing the evolution from an budding fashion intern to an established designer. As one of the winners of “Berlin Contemporary” and the first African-based brand to hit the Berlin runway, the collection is a tapestry of emotions and experiences, intricately woven to reflect the many stages that have shaped the designer’s life and artistry. It celebrates pivotal moments, personal milestones, and creative expression: a moodboard of life itself. The brand refines its silhouettes, presenting an elevated yet polished aesthetic where innovation meets style. The collection incorporates upcycled leather, wood, raffia, calabash, and dead-stock materials, underscoring the brand’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship. Colours include rich browns, deep burgundy reds, earthy greens, and bold blacks. Silhouettes strike a balance between structure and fluidity, symbolising growth and evolution through life’s diverse phases.
