From her explorations her creations become very personable and much more than just\u00a0materialistic. With a\u00a0core vision\u00a0in multi-functionality, her designs give her wearer a chance to create themselves. Take for example a bonded Linen Wrappa from the NA15 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyorhagwe.us\/lookbook-marta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;M&#8217;ba M&#8217;etta- We the Metta People&#8221; Collection<\/a>. The wrappa can be worn in four different styles; as a wrap skirt, an empire skirt, a strapless dress, as well as\u00a0a cape. The diversity of the collection allows one to not only be their own trend setter, but the ultimate composer of their identity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A culture is its People and a People are their\u00a0culture.
