THE VOYAGE OF MADEMOSIELLE ADANNA - SPRING SUMMER '13/'14

Mademosielle Adanna is a fictional character created in the mind of  our creative director. Mademosielle Adanna is the ultimate wana sambo woman!  She lives in every woman. 

Our SS'13 collection is a picturesque story of  Mademosielle Adanna’s wardrobe which includes pieces she wears in her daily life to work, parties, cocktails, travels. Etc. Mademosielle Adanna is that confident streak that lives in every woman. Her clothes are sometimes rebellious, sexy and other times corporate, like we all dress daily. We all have different outfits for different events and occassions in our lives. Welcome to Mademosielle Adannas closet. A journey through time and season’s past.

“I wanted to make clothes for every woman. Whether big, small, petit, hourglass. Every woman! Clothes that make her happy and creates smiles on people’s faces as she walks into a room.” – Wana Sambo.

We've put up some pieces from the collection! See more on www.wansambo.com! Enjoy!!

"Half of a Yellow Sun" Movie!

We are excited to see the movie translation of the Half of a Yellow Sun novel written by Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. 
"A new republic,called Biafra, is created by the Igbo. As a result of the conflict, Olanna, Odenigbo, their daughter Baby and Ugwu are forced to flee Nsukka, which is the university town and the major intellectual hub of the new nation." - Wikipedia (source)
The book was published in 2006 and it tells the story of the Biafran War through the perspective of the characters Olanna, Ugwu, and Richard. 

It stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Onyeka Onwenu, Anika Noni Rose, Genevieve Nnaji, OC Ukeje and John Boyega.
