We would love to introduce you to Ayissi Nga Jospeh-Marie, creator of the Brand Wazal!
Ayissi has just announced his new collection for 2017 called “Ova Tété”
This collection is inspired by a Cameroonian slang ‘ova’ which means bigger and noble person. And Tété which refers to chic and bourgeois. In addition, the word chic here is used to describe the amazing and modern appearance of the clothings. Meaning those who patronize him have good taste.
The materials used in this collection are of the best quality, including first choice wax (African print) from Senegal or Mali.
Ayissi believes his collection is indecent, 10 years in advance or shameless 5 years in advance. He prefers being seen ahead of his peers because the fashion world is in constant évolution.
