Aisha Ayensu

“I’m a Phoebe Philo-era Celine girl at heart, and Bottega Veneta for accessories”

“I’ve always had a soft spot for underdog stories”

“I leave the noise and immerse myself in disciplines completely unrelated to fashion – art, architecture, anthropology, and African histor”

“I don’t separate spirituality from creativity. It’s one of the ways I experience God. My faith reminds me that beauty has purpose and excellence is worship.”

“I remind myself that I am a steward of this gift, not its owner”

“The woman I get to clothe. She remains endlessly fascinating to me”

“My grandmother taught me the power of being unapologetically yourself.”
