Untitled. Where to buy a dashiki-style prom dress. Over the weekend, New Jersey teen Kyemah McEntyre reversed the time-honored tradition of wearing a regrettable, awkward prom dress by attending the occasion in this confection: As her hashtags read, she was looking to break the internet, and according to Buzzfeed, she succeeded. McEntyre sketched and designed the empire-waist and floor-length dress as an homage to dashikis, the West African garb that first made its appearance in America during the 1960s. A sartorial teen dream, the dress was actually inspired by a nightmarish time for McEntyre, the prom queen revealing she endured relentless bullying and name calling. But the 18 year old, who, according to Huffington Post, is bound for Parsons School of Design in the fall, has obviously found perspective on the difficult time, fully embracing her obvious talent and taking pride in her “African descent.”
