Obakki Foundation
Corduroy Magazine exemplifies timeless beauty, classic art, and poetic readings.
Straight from the source: “Our magazine is based on the idea that a corduroy jacket never goes out of style. In the same way, we profile actors, musicians, designers and fine artists who aren’t looking to follow mainstream trends, but rather focused on creating something classic.” The recently featured Obakki Foundation resonates with this principle by standing for a cause that has life-changing impact and lasting results.

Over 4,500 uninvited fans lined up to see if they could shimmy their way in to the private Corduroy Magazine launch party at Milk Studios in NYC. Sean Lennon, singer, and Canadian beauty, Irina Lazareanu, attended this exclusive event among New York’s most stylish hipsters.
Self-made trend-setter, Erika Marie from the Fashion CHALET shows her support for the Obakki Foundation. Best known for her everyday sweet romantic pieces, this girl-next-door is on the radar as an up and coming fashion blogger.
The Obakki Foundation went to Cameroon, Africa and gave 150 orphans a piece of paper and asked them these questions:
WHAT MAKES YOU SAD? WHAT MAKES YOU AFRAID? WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?
Using their words and drawings as inspiration, we created pieces like our Obakki Foundation Graphic Scarf, as seen being worn by Erika below.
“It was incredibly gratifying and emotional to show the children the power of their words,” said Treana Peake, owner and founder of Obakki and Obakki Foundation. “They’re seeing that because of their answers, proper food, education and health care will soon be available. They’re giving themselves a future.”
100% of the proceeds go back to the children in the orphanages, because it started with their answers.
