Asin Kai Mi- In My Blood

In My Blood is a three-chapter collection rooted in memory, womanhood, and cultural legacy. Told through the eyes of a young girl witnessing the women around her, each chapter explores a facet of identity passed down through the maternal line 
rooted in the Ijaw tribe, one of Nigeria’s oldest ethnic groups, whose visual language and legacy have long been overlooked in contemporary fashion storytelling.

We begin with The Heritage, launching first as AW25 a ceremonial ode to Ijaw traditional weddings, reimagined from my own family’s wedding photos. Sculptural silhouettes, beaded caps, and staff symbols celebrate bridehood, sisterhood, and ancestral
pride.
