Obakki's Fall/Winter 2012 Collection explores the dramatic timeline of South Sudan, telling a story through color, texture and pattern. Gun metal grays encased in sanguine, earthy neutrals and vibrant ultramarines punctuate each chronological stage. Experience Obakki's interpretation of the unique story of South Sudan as it unfolds through the Fall/Winter 2012 Collection.
Treana Peake is my mentor and a dear friend who has inspired me so much during the short period of time of our meeting. She is the Founder of the Obakki Foundation, a non-profit organization that uses fashion and creative arts as a fundraising vehicle to bring water and education to people in Africa. Obbaki Foundation is currently working in my country South Sudan in which they have drilled over 200 water wells.
During Fall/Winter 2012 Fashion Week, she presented the world with her beautiful collection of clothing line which told the story of South Sudan. The presentation was timeless and took your soul into a deep feeling of awareness. The show had a bit of a twist to it; South Sudanese models, which in this case is very rare to find people of color being the highlight of the fashion industry. However the models were beautiful and eager to represent their country, to tell the world our difficult history of war and suffering in an elegant effortless way.
The Obakki line was featured in several world wide publications such as Vogue, Elle, and InStyle magazines. Treana is able to tell the world a story of war, sadness, and suffering by using fashion without losing hope. Treana is a big hearted woman and a true humanitarian. Her goal is for "People who want to have really high-end beautiful contemporary fashion, but care about where the money is going. Through the sale of this collection, we are able to continue to drill water wells in South Sudan, and throughout Africa."
