The artwork is inspired by a hairstyle worn by Rwandan men in the 1950s to 1970s, a short, natural mini afro that became a defining expression of that era. It symbolized composure, confidence, and pride, continuing Rwanda’s long tradition of carrying identity with intention and grace Imizi, meaning roots in Kinyarwanda, honors that connection between past and present, the shared lineage that grounds every evolution of style and self-expression. Woven in soft powder blue, this knit embodies calm strength, heritage, and the elegance of being rooted yet ever-evolving.
