"Lemlem
Founded by supermodel Liya Kebede after meeting weavers in her home nation of Ethiopia, Lemlem is a brand that celebrates African culture, but not in an overt way. Where others emphasize the prints and colors indicative of countries in the continent, Kebede’s label focuses on the craft, adopting techniques and gingerly adding patterns to form elegant basics that feel as good as they look."
