Ghana-Inspired Summer Apparel

The A Kind of Guise SS20 Capsule is Bright and Boldly Designed

— July 27, 2020 — Fashion
The recent unveiling of the A Kind of Guise SS20 collection draws inspiration from the Kusami market in Ghana, fusing inspiration from the West African republic for the season. The capsule is perfect for the rising temperatures and features decorations of vibrant prints.

The German fashion brand celebrates the core of Kusami and the bright prints and fresh produce from the area. This launch marks the label's second summer drop and it aims to capture the lifestyle of a daily Ghanaian routine. The collection features three exclusive holiday tops in colorways entitled 'Sandy Banana," "Sunny Palm Green," and "Mystic Blue." All of these are handmade in Germany using 100% fine Italian silk -- each shirt is limited to only 25 pieces per design.
