EXAMINATION OF THE BASIC COMPONENTS OF AFRICAN PRINT FABRIC DESIGNS PRODUCED IN SOUTH WEST NIGERIA.

Öz

African print fabrics are customarily referred to as Ankara fabrics. They are major textile products because they have high economic value. This study focused on the basic components of African print fabrics produced in Southwest Nigeria. The study adopted survey research design. The population of the study comprised of African print fabric designers in the two functioning African print fabric companies in Southwest Nigeria. These companies were coded as company A and company B. At the time of the study, there were ten African print fabric designers working in both companies. Census was used to determine the sample size since the number is manageable. Questionnaire was used for data collection. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistical tools. The study revealed that colour, crackle effect, line effect, bold motifs and nature of fibre are major distinguishing components of African print fabrics. It was also established that although African print fabric is named after the African continent, the components are not essentially African. It was recommended that African print fabric designers should endeavour to consistently adopt Afrocentric design elements to African print fabric designs. This will encourage Africans to embrace the fabric more which will positively influence the economy.
