Aya-Nikole Cook and Haji
On Monday, artist Aya-Nikole Cook was our featured TalkingPoint artist. Aya is a Chicago-based Designer and the creator of HAJI, a Couture line of Accessories. The line, which debuted in October 2006, consists of two collections: Mystic and Devotion. Aya also works with garment design and she has designed costumes for several of artist, Kerry James Marshall’s conceptual projects. For more about Aya’s work and the HAJI collection, visit her website.
