House of Mamasan
"House of Mamasan" was born from the visions of a fashionista-in-the-making, Andrea Lamadora. The 25 year-old designer was born and raised in San Fransico, California and now resides in Oakland. Her vavacious and intriguing pieces has attracted artist such as Goapele, and many more!
Check out some of the items we hand-chose to present to you:
1. Brown shear Kimono top - This piece can be worn as a dress or shirt. As a shirt-top, the sides can be cinched up and tied in the back. When worn as a dress, this wrap-around ties in the back and should be worn with a slip. The shear fabric is ideal for summer heat and is airy with a beautiful flow and movement to it.
2. Magenta Kimono (Sarisan)- This piece was inspired by the Japanese and Indian influence. The fabric is made of Indian sari material with delicate detail of gold and black textile designs. The lining of the Kimono arms are inlaid with royal purple silk giving the eye a beautiful contrast of magenta and purple. The shirt has one tie on each side which can be tied to the front or back making it ideal for any size.
