Maakola Focusing on a net positive future, Maakola combines exceptional fabric and data to create fashion experiences.

Inspired by Ghanian women, designed by Aurora Chiste for humans and avatars. We are on a mission to use fashion to build a net positive future. Combining fabric and data we create experiences that empower humans and avatars to take part in regenerative fashion. Founded by Aurora, inspired by the saleswomen at Makola market in Ghana whose stories champion freedom of expression, Maakola adapts their

story to modern life by encouraging deep awareness of what we consume. Maakola is committed to use blockchain technology to strengthening the social and environmental connections that our life depends upon. Aurora’s design gives us the opportunity to explore the unseen interactions that happen in the process of making and distributing fashion. Maakola creations combine high-quality materials, heritage and data. Fashion builds culture, shapes market forces, and at its core is art that we use to cover our bodies. Consequently, it has so much potential to become a vehicle of change.

Our latest collection, Heartrise, was designed with the culture of care at its heart.

In an African Print fabric featuring long, slender leaves climbing sinuously upwards, it is both a celebration of Earth’s beauty and a message of hope for its future; a reminder to keep rising. We took this fabric and created a capsule collection of pieces to wear anywhere: a double breasted blazer and matching pants, designed for ease of movement – like the fighter’s punch to the heart – yet polished enough to give you confidence wherever you are going.

A collection, like everything we design, to wear again and again. A collection that cares.

Think like an astronaut



The Earth is made of many beings, all linked to each other, and if we want to keep calling this beautiful place our home, we will have to learn more about these relationships, and how our actions impact on the planet’s beauty. To do this, we have to zoom out – to look at the … Think like an as...

Heartrise

Protecting our planet is not a job for one, two , or three people. It’s our collective responsibility and privilege.

Our new capsule collection Heartrise was designed with the culture of care at its heart. Inspired by Earthrise – the first photograph of our planet from space, it teaches us that seeing something as a whole is the stepping stone to begin to care for it.

Sixty years later we wonder what happens if we apply that level of vision and boldness to look inward and take on challenges that affect us directly – from social justice and inclusion, to environmental and health. A successful moon landing was possible because everyone’s energy was dedicated to a shared belief and outcome and therefore attracted the engagement and contribution demanded despite the risks involved.

We choose to go to the Moon.

“I think we're going to do it, and I think that we must pay what needs to be paid. I don't think we ought to waste any money, but I think we ought to do the job.”

When I first came across Amanda Gorman's poem ‘Earthrise’, I had no intention of designing a collection. I was simply looking around and trying to learn more about Amanda, and what makes her work so powerful and remarkable. But the four minutes of the video – a 2018 reading of ‘Earthrise’, dedicated to Al Gore – mesmerized me; I kept watching it over and over.

Her point of view at the end truly made me consider: If someone came to our planet for the first time, what would they see? What would they find?

My response to that question is the Heartrise collection. I’ve used fashion to imagine a world where everyone is aware of how lovely our planet is, so that we all work harder to conserve this magnificent blue dot. To celebrate, and preserve, the beauty of our planet, I wanted to create something beautiful.
