Gift of lemlem by Liya Kebede
Object number2016.59.1
Supermodel and World Health Organization ambassador Liya Kebede founded lemlem in 2007 in her home country of Ethiopia. Lemlem means “to bloom” or “to flourish” in Amharic, and it captures Kebede’s mission to sustain both traditional weaving and economic prosperity through modern fashion. Ethiopian weavers created the intricate fabric of this dress by hand.
