As a fashion company, we were mesmerized by the assortment of garments chosen for the music. Each song had its own theme and therefore its own special style of clothing. We chose some of our favorite pieces from the film and imagined how some of our pieces would fit  

The Carter team is a big mood on the track “Mood 4 Eva”. Since they first started featuring on each other’s tracks, the duo has risen to the music industry’s favorite couple. In this track Jay-Z sports a few stylish suits and tux. He’s truly embracing the lifestyle and dressing the part.  

Create a similar feeling with our regal Rammy blazer in burgundy/gold/black. Our African print blazer will have you walking around feeling like an African king. The comfortable blazer elevates any look and gives the same vibe as “Mood 4 Eva” 

The choreography in “Already” is excellent and features some amazing African-inspired dance moves. Beyonce rocks several styles that show off her curves while also showing her as a powerful woman. One of our favorites is the blazer bodysuit by Loza Maléombho. It reminds us of our powerful statement blazer from our Black History Month Collection. Our black gold mudcloth blazer is bold and beautiful. The comfortable stretch woven material makes it a favorite amongst our customers. 

In the fun song, “Water” there is a slew of gorgeous looks that Beyonce rocks. In one scene Beyonce is wearing a dress designed by Mary Katrantzou. This exciting dress features many ruffles and a dreamy mashup of colors. Our Sikudani dress is similarly a pleasing dress with vivid colors. Our dress also features ruffles adding to the overall appearance of the dress. Rock this out anywhere and feel like Beyonce.  

“Brown Skin Girl” is a beautiful song that the world desperately needed. This anthem to melanin beauty uplifts women around the world. Our Jaida and Dia shirts fit into this theme perfectly. They both feature the words, “Brown Skin Girl” and the shirt itself was designed to empower and uplift women in our community. Let your clothes speak for yourself by wearing this fashionable t-shirt that tells everyone exactly what you think.  

Also, in the “Brown Skin Girl” video, Beyonce rocked a gorgeous black and white pattern dress while belting out the lyrics to her song. The dress looks amazing on her and the white background allows the dress to really pop. Our own Afua dress in the black gold mudcloth print is just as beautiful. The dress features a unique high-low cut with an addition of an off-the-shoulder sleeve. 

Beyonce’s gospel-pop song “Spirit” is an uplifting track meant to make listeners want to pursue their own destiny. There are many obvious references to The Lion King in the song, but it’s not just a cookie-cutter Disney song. Beyonce uses her voice to add meaning and depth to the lyrics and ultimately it translates well. Her choice of clothing helps to further the meaning.  

The gold color of her ensemble looks amazing with her skin tone and gives off a warm and inviting feel. We have a similar outfit that will you have you feeling just like Beyonce. Our Cyrah skirt in the gold blue flowers print has a slit for ladies to pop out their leg. We also have a matching crop top to complete the whole look! 

If you're feeling empowered, as we are from this movie, take a look at the rest of our looks that will have you shining as bright as Beyonce. Shop more looks here!

As we begin our celebrations of Black History Month, we at spfraidersoccercamp would like to kick-off the month of February by discussing the origins of kente cloth. Kente today is seen as a staple cloth in African print fashion and used to express one’s roots. We have many clothes offered on our site that utilize kente print in a way that is meant to be empowering while fashionable.

Kente cloth is native to the Akan ethnic group from Ghana. This vibrant cloth rose in popularity when the Asante Empire decided that only royals could wear kente. The use of the print was limited to social and special occasions. The word kente means “basket” in the Akan language. It is produced from a technique called strip weaving, which has existed in West Africa since the 11th century.

A legend told by the Asante people is that two men learned the art of weaving from a spider. They observed a spider named Ananse, weave unique designs. For a few favors, the spider taught the men how to weave designs with a single thread. They used this technique to create kente cloth.

In our Black History Month Collection, we have several pieces that include kente print. Each color in kente print has a special meaning to it. The meanings of the colors are what sets the kente apart from regular clothing and give it a deeper purpose.

For women, we have a Nyah Skirt and a Bahati Dress that are fabricated with gold and red kente. Gold is the symbol of royalty, wealth and spiritual purity, and red symbolizes the blood of our ancestors. These two powerful colors are telling an incredible story. 

 

We also offer a Bomani Long Sleeve Shirt with a gold and red kente color block. This fashionable shirt for men is the perfect way to express pride for your heritage and history while looking dope. Let your clothes do the talking for Black History Month by incorporating some kente looks into your wardrobe.

Today, the cloth has entered modern African print fashion and instills a feeling of empowerment in all who wear it. We will continue to produce clothing that includes kente print and we will always remember the history behind this bold and vibrant cloth.
