Yaa Asantewaa, queen mother of Ejisu, who led the Ashanti against the British in 1900 — rendered as original art reworked from a verified public-domain photograph, set against a field of adinkra-inspired motifs and finished with the Aya fern, the mark of endurance from the Akan Adinkra tradition of Ghana.

She rises from the cloth and dissolves back into it: history worn in light, not printed on top of it.

• All-over print, cut and sewn by hand — the pattern is part of the garment, not a transfer
• Smooth four-way stretch polyester-elastane, moisture-wicking, UPF 50+
• Above-the-knee bodycon fit
• Made to order, never warehoused

Wearable fine art from Burrell Archive.
