‘The Dashiki is a common loose garment worn originally in West Africa. After making its USA debut in the 1960’s, it served as a symbol of reclaiming African roots and identity. Dashiki – ‘dan-ciki’ or ‘dan-shiki’, meaning shirt – is derived from the Hausa and Yoruba languages respectively, spoken by groups of people majorly found in Nigeria.’
