HOUSTON, Texas -- African-inspired prints are getting a modern makeover. Ankara, a fabric from West Africa, isn't just considered cultural attire anymore - it's taking the spotlight on catwalks ...

Ankara fabric often referred to as African wax print is symbolic of the continent’s diverse heritage, representing a kaleidoscope of traditions , symbols and stories.

That's changing, though. About 66 percent of African-American women older than 40 had a mammogram in 2010, according to Susan G. Komen. That's on par with other races.

In conclusion, the Ankara collection (ODYSSEY) by this talented Nigerian designer Amb.Tega Osama is not merely a showcase of exquisite garments but a bold statement of African pride and creativity.
