Oluwadamilola Adeyinka Shofarasin, the visionary and lead creative designer of Dhaven Touch, ACTIVA , a bold and spirited essemble that embodies the beauty of African femininity through every stitch. Crafted from richly toned Ankara fabric, ACTIVA underscores a statement of cultural pride, youthfulness, and joy.
ACTIVA appears to be instantly captivating for its playful silhouette. Flowing with an effortless grace and style, the dress features a gentle flared hem and flutter sleeves that harmonize lightness and movement.
The round neckline and that little bow? They give the tailoring a playful, almost storybook vibe. Then there’s the fabric that’s seriously eye-catching, but not in a loud way. Swirls of purple, pink, and black twist around in these big, bold circles. The whole thing feels alive, like the pattern’s moving with you, grabbing attention every time the light hits.
ACTIVA’s design radiates free-spirited confidence. You get the sense that this dress is made for a young woman who knows who she is and isn’t afraid to show it. There’s tradition in the cut, but nothing stuffy about it. It it gives modernity, openness, and it’s ready for anything. You can totally see it dressed up with heels for a polished, laid-back vibe, or thrown on with sneakers and a denim jacket for something easygoing. That’s the real magic here: ACTIVA just works, no matter how you style it.
But there’s room to play, too. Imagine it longer; midi or even full-length,for something a bit more formal. Or cinch the waist with a belt if you for a choice of a sharper silhouette. Some beaded trims or lace? That would turn this piece into the star of any party. Still, even as it is, ACTIVA already tells a story of joy, youth, and a real pride in heritage.
Dhaven Touch keeps making its mark in African fashion, and ACTIVA really proves it. With this design, Oluwadamilola Adeyinka Shofarasin isn’t just making clothes for African women, she’s celebrating them.
