About the Designer

La-Rae Subay, a "Georgia Peach" from Athens, GA, is the founder / designer of Black Ankh Designs LLC.  Self taught in this industry, she has a Masters degree in Education, a B.A. in Psychology, and is currently seeking her Masters in Business Administration to ensure the powerful and consistent impact and growth of Black Ankh. 

La-Rae’s trend-setting creativity is inspired by African culture.  She is deeply moved by the spiritual energy of the continent and the breathtaking fabric creations produced.  Sewing to musical favorites in the 4-6 am hours result in powerful, artistic, and wearable motifs. “My designs are embraced by individuals who are open to diversity, and open to wearing fun, radiant garments created/blended with authentic African fabrics.” Ms. Subay’s signature is not only her display of creative innovation and colorful blends, but also her skill in working with mud cloth.

The Meaning of Black Ankh

Black, La-Rae's favorite color, represents the unstoppable power of the Universe. The Egyptian Ankh, La-Rae's favorite symbol, represents eternal life and the balance of masculine and feminine energies (like the Yin and Yang).  Together they define Black Ankh to mean "Universal Life" with an emphasis on each person's Unique-versal Life.

Accomplishments

La-Rae designed and constructed a Panel prototype for FloppySeat, the creator and manufacturer of the innovative shopping cart covers for infants/toddlers. The Black Ankh clothing line has been featured in Phoenix Fashion Week's 2006 Emerging Designer show, and Ms. Subay was one of ten designers featured in the 2006 Diaspora Showcase Africa Fashion Show.  Ms. Subay's Diaspora design is currently in the collection of Martha Samara, wife of Noah Samara, who created satellite radio and pioneered XM radio. (click here to see an image of Black Ankh’s Diaspora design)  In 2007, select designs by Black Ankh were featured in View magazine, a publication local to Scottsdale, AZ.
