Today i will be showing you the pictures of Nicki in African wax prints that we all know as Ankara. Ankara is all called Dutch wax prints. Ankara in an omnipresent and very common material for making clothes in Africa. It is very common especially in West Africa and it is ever present in our country Nigeria. Ankara is an industrially produced, colorful cotton cloth that is made with batik inspired printing.
Ankara is used mainly for celebrations in Nigeria for so many reasons. But it seems that these days it is used for parties out of culture since that is how it was used by our predecessors in the past.
