The Alia by ASAKE-OGE is an African print balloon sleeve blazer dress crafted from premium structured cotton in a bold red and white Cubist Ankara print, featuring a plunging deep V neckline, asymmetric double-breasted button closure, dramatically voluminous balloon sleeves gathered at the wrist, and a precisely tailored waist, available in sizes XS through 6XL at $200, made to order with a 2 to 4 week production window.
About the Alia Blazer Dress
The Alia is a masterclass in Afro-modern tailoring. It bridges West African textile heritage and architectural contemporary design through a single, considered silhouette: structured at the shoulders, sculpted at the waist, and sweeping at the sleeves. The Cubist Ankara print is hand-selected for its dynamic pattern placement, shifting and recomposing across the body as the wearer moves, so no two wears look identical.
The deep V neckline draws the eye through the body's vertical line, creating elongation and drama in equal measure. The asymmetric double-breasted button closure interrupts that line with precision, cinching definition at the waist before the volume of the balloon sleeves takes over. Those sleeves are the signature of the piece: gathered at the wrist, sweeping at the upper arm, they bring an architectural theatricality that is rooted in ceremonial African dress traditions while being entirely modern in execution.
This is not an everyday dress. The Alia is for the woman who commands rooms: creative industry panels, luxury resort dining, gallery openings, milestone celebrations, and every occasion where presence is non-negotiable.

How to Style the Alia African Print Blazer Dress
For a high-society occasion: pair with minimalist strappy white heels, sculptural gold earrings, and a sleek leather clutch. Let the Ankara print be the statement; keep accessories architectural and clean.
For a power editorial look: style with statement knee-high boots and a structured shoulder bag. The balloon sleeves read fashion-forward against a sleek boot silhouette.
For resort luxe: wear slightly unbuttoned over sleek silk trousers with low-profile leather slides. The blazer structure meets resort ease in this layered take.
Complete the look with a bag from the ASAKE-OGE accessories collection for a fully considered Afro-luxury outfit. Or explore the ASAKE-OGE Atelier collection for other made-to-order African print pieces crafted at this same level of intention.
About This Print
The Cubist Ankara motif used in the Alia draws from the geometric traditions of West African wax print textile design, reinterpreted through a contemporary, architectural lens. The red and white palette is intentionally high-contrast: bold enough to read across a room, refined enough to sit comfortably in luxury spaces. Pattern placement on the balloon sleeves and bodice is considered, not accidental.
