The Juno Awards are happening on Sunday at Canada’s capital city and what the hey – we’re getting into the fun of it. Our Founder/Creative Director, Treana Peake is set to walk the red carpet in Obakki style, but she’s undecided on the dress.
Your pick – the Dani Dress from our Holiday 2011/12 Collection – a music award show appropriate dress inspired by the Jazz Age of the 1920’s. It’s a current style that has been trending on the runway from the look – drop-waist and fringe, to the attitude – unfussy yet polished.

Everyday illegal weapons contribute to the deaths of many in South Sudan as tensions and turmoil rise over scarce resources and fractured hopes. As the dry season continues and water sources become even more of a rarity the stress that exists between the tribes will escalate. The UN and the Government of South Sudan have relayed with confidence that the Obakki Foundation’s commitment to clean water is exactly what is needed to start weaving the people together and initiate the pursuit of peace. With peace comes development and the chance of a new life.
