“May there be peace, love, and perfection throughout all creation, oh God,” were among the first words chanted over the soundtrack during the opening moments of House of Aama’s fall presentation. Since 2015, Rebecca Henry and Akua Shabaka, the mother-daughter duo behind the brand, have used their strong sense of spirituality and connection to their ancestral legacy to bring their designs to life. This time, the tradition continued at the Canary Club, a Lower East Side spot known for its jazz brunch.
It felt just like a Friday night as models strutted through the sinuous (and tightly packed) corridors of the club. The first six models were ready to party in evening looks that were all various shades of blue, from a deep royal hued velvet gown that softly hugged the body to a light powder blue minidress with a voluminous skirt.
The ladies weren’t alone at this party, the fellas joined the soirée in letterman jackets, cardigans, relaxed fit polos, and pinstripe button downs stamped with the brand’s logos.
With a collection titled Sun Records, of course there were a few sartorial high notes that felt ideal for a warm weather getaway, from a mesh maxi dress with an artistic sunburst print to the marigold tiered ruffle eyelet dress that closed the show. Those pieces and the magnetic energy of both designers were bright spots on a gloomy, snow-filled day.
