Aye Shanti Earrings

/in /by

Jewelry: Aye Shanti

Model: Akemi Kobayashi-Po
Photography: Pong Rama

 

Aye Shanti pieces are handcrafted and designed by Brooklyn-based artist, Shanti Vincent.

I love to produce striking designs with elements of culture, fantasy, and unique conversation piece.

An ode to her Caribbean background, she’s inspired by the vibrant colors, rhythms, and breath taking natural scenery of her years visiting the Spice Isle, Grenada with a mix of her urban upbringing here in Brooklyn, New York. Known for her flower pieces and carnival jewelry, she incorporates eye-catching designs in anticipation of her clients bringing them to life. Eventually cultivating her passion for wearable art, she successfully keeps a studio in Brooklyn and creates pieces for shows, designers, carnival costumes, and weddings.

I treat each day like its carnival, full of color and mas’!

“For those of you who have never played mas with Ronnie & Caro… This band prides itself on not only beautifully made costumes but also dedicated organisation and customer satisfaction. Not only must you be pleased with your costume, you must feel at 10:00 pm on Carnival Tuesday night like you have been liming (hanging out) with your family for the last two days.

That is why Ronnie & Caro Mas Band is so special! DE RIVER COME DOWN…get ready to fall in de river!”

TRUE T-shirts By KAYOBI

CLICK PHOTOS BELOW TO PURCHASE TRUE by KAYOBI

Ghana-based design studio KAYOBI has just released a thought-provoking and insightful collection commemorating African leaders and visionaries called TRUE.

KAYOBI Creative Director, Kwabena O. Boateng explains, “we believe the standard of African leadership today leaves much to be desired and hence we have created an African Heroes collection to remind everyone what true heroes look like. We decided to cover the eyes of the heroes and replace in with inspiring words as a nod to pop art and most importantly as a reverse critique of some of Africa’s current leadership who lead blindly”.

Miriam Makeba is True Activist Mama Africa 

Nelson Mandela is True Revolutionary

Kwame Nkrumah is True Visionary
