….seeing hollywood celebs in African print or African-inspired designs is nothing new to us. StyleMeNaija brought you Ankara at the Emmys; so we had to go find the creative person behind these designs. And she’s Sister Maya Lake of Boxing Kitten designs-an American designer with a love of things African. Check her out. She’s also responsible for designs we’ve seen on Fergie, Erykah Badu, and other celebs.

You’ll also see Boxing Kitten on Ms Rihanna in the Rude Boy vid.
