The Anebi dress is a bold, strapless statement piece that merges Idoma cultural artistry with contemporary glamour. Its sculpted bodice is a mosaic of diagonal stripes in the Idoma palette — deep red, jet black, and warm gold — masterfully arranged to contour the figure. The piece transitions into a luxuriously layered ivory fringe hem that sways dramatically with movement, reminiscent of the rhythm of Ogrinya dance steps. A subtle cowrie-inspired embellishment at the waist adds a touch of heritage symbolism.
