The Story Behind Anna
Founded by Aboubacar Kourouma
The name Anna is a tribute to Aboubacar’s mother — the woman who first showed him what it means to express yourself through fabric, color, and style.
A designer herself, she made a living through her art, crafting vibrant garments from African fabrics that told stories. Watching her growing up, he was inspired not just by her talent, but by the way she used fashion to uplift and provide. Her influence runs through every piece he creates.
Two Worlds, One Vision
Anna was born in two worlds: the Bronx and Guinea— shaped by the journey in between.
Growing up between these places, Aboubacar learned early on how different environments shape the soul. His time in Africa opened his eyes to the richness of culture, the power of community, and the urgency to do more for people. It gave him a deeper sense of purpose — not just to create, but to awaken.
Luxury African Streetwear
Anna is a luxury African streetwear brand that redefines what it means to wear royalty.
Rooted in rich African heritage and infused with the bold energy of street culture, Anna creates pieces that command presence and carry meaning.
Every design blends high-end craftsmanship with cultural storytelling, giving each garment the elegance of luxury and the attitude of the streets.
Anna is for those who want to stand tall, feel powerful, and embody a sense of royalty — not through titles or status, but through the way they carry themselves.
A Call to Awaken
Every collection invites you to see differently, feel more deeply, and wear what matters.
Our pieces are made to move with you, reflect you, and remind you of who you are when you’re fully awake.
About the Founder
A first generation African-American with Guinean roots, Aboubacar embodies the spirit of two worlds.
His work is guided by a philosophy of awakening — blending precision, cultural heritage, and fearless self-expression.
Rooted in a family legacy of textile design, every creation is both art and statement.
Anna isn’t a debut; it’s the unstoppable foundation of a new era — built with clarity, conviction, and no need for permission.
The Mission
This is fashion for the awakened. For those who know their spirit can’t be colonized.
Awaken The World isn’t a slogan. It’s a mission stitched in the soul of Anna.
