sika's collection at arise africa fashion week features simple, staple pieces that capture the spirit of ghana in the 70s when "all types of ethnic images set trends internationally and African prints began to make a huge impact on [the global] fashion industry". her "coco" collection consists of mostly dresses and jumpsuits that are pared down and straight to the point with few frills or surprises. a bit too safe? perhaps. more risk-taking and a more vibrant palette may have stepped this collection up a notch.
