ABOUT
Growing Pains: A Mini Film explores the concept of Sadé + Shaniya’s latest collection.
Derived from themes of metamorphosis and continuous evolution…
Growing Pains serves as our source of rebirth.
Drawing inspiration from the ideology of Afrofuturisim and the Black visionaries that have come before whose contributions often go unattributed, this collection is composed of warm energetic colors, coupled with curves caressing the physique, all designed to encapsulate the dynamic beauty of the human body.
