STUDIO DMAXSI ( http://www.studiodmaxsidesigns.com/ ) is one of the
fastest growing fashion design houses in the Washington, DC metropolitan
area. Founded in 2006 by Afua Sam, creates women's wear masterpieces for
the confident, chic and classy modern woman. Designer Afua Sam is
originally from Ghana, West Africa and her journey in fashion begun 15
years ago in her homeland.
Most of her designs are made out of silk-based fabrics and a touch of
some African fabric, which is made of cotton, specifically known as
Woodin. Her reason for her fabric choice is because of her intention to
bridge a gap between African culture and western culture.
One of Studio Dmaxsi's passion as a fashion house is her commitment
to give back to her community by participating in numerous fashion shows
whose goals are to work toward the enhancement of society. She has been
a part of Fashion for World Peace where all the proceeds are donated to
charity works like its "Schools for Africa Project", etc. She has
also been a part of the Steps to The Cure for Breast Cancer Fashion Show
which works towards creating an awareness of breast cancer and the money
raised goes to RED DEVILS AND HOPEWELL CANCER SUPPORT.
Afua is also bent on empowering young women, be it academically or the
arts. She believes in the reinforcement of the confidence of women which
makes for a better world and that is why Afua's Foundation is working
on the improvement of self-esteem and the education of young women.
