The stylish gathering included Chelsea Boatey, Jeneé Naylor, Ash Forde, Simi Muhumuz, Tiffany M. Battle, Tenicka Boyd, Nana Agyemang, and various others, all showcasing their style in ensembles from Iyamah.

In an interview with Essence Magazine, Andrea talked about her intentionality in having her stores in specific locations:
I don’t take for granted all the women that wear the brand for all these years. I think for me this is just the first step to what I know is even bigger. I have hopes of expanding to Los Angeles, Miami, and later Europe. My team and I feel the brand is something that we want people to touch, feel, and actually experience inside the space that we have designed.

Fashion is not just about building a brand or about e-commerce. So I’ve always felt that brick and mortar was a good strategy, you just have to do it with intention.
