House of Aama Puts the Spotlight on Black Americans' Agrarian Legacy for Spring 2026


In many ways, appreciating House of Aama’s output is like reading a good book. Each collection the storytelling-driven brand creates feels like the drop of a new chapter. 

One season, it’ll reference the persistence of surviving the transatlantic slave trade; then, the 1960s Los Angeles jazz scene; next, it’ll honor the mother-daughter design duo’s family history. For Spring 2026, Rebecca Henry and Akua Shabaka presented “Folk Grounds,” a story about South Carolina’s Black American agrarian legacy set within the fictional world of Camp Aama. “Family, history [and] ancestral legacy,” were the starting points, Henry told Fashionista. 

“Looking at my mother’s familial line out of the Carolinas was really important to us,” Shabaka added. “And paying homage to my grandmother who passed, Faye Henry.”
