Y'Awa Creations Unclaimed

Yolanda Yawa, owner and designer, of Y'awa Creations built this family business for her sons' future, hoping that they will one day run it.Yolanda hails from Gugulethu, a township situated in the east of Cape Town. "My love and passion for fashion started when I was still a toddler, where I used to dress anything that resembled a figure or statue. I've always had flair for good stylish clothes, a sense of line, color, form and a sense of balance and proportion, and an eye for detail" Yolanda says.Designs are ingenious combinations of vintage and modern, inspired by styles of 1940 up to the present with a touch of an ethnic African feel. German print Sishweshwe fabrics add a refreshing feel to the designs which are mostly tailored to give a perfect tight body fit. They also make one feel closer to African traditions in a very sophisticated and sexy way. This collection is suitable for that stylish introverted professionals who love admiration from afar, as space is important.
