The vision of the OrisaWear is to encourge new ways of thinking about what we wear, how we wear it and our relationship to the sacred and the earthly. Nedra Williams, the designer, is well known in the Bay Area for her highly graphic and deeply spiritual paintings, collages and mannequins.
An Orisa is a spirit or deity that reflects one of the manifestations of Oludumare (God) in the Yoruba religion.
OrisaWear T-shirts are now available in limited distribution.
