Tanya Sam in Sai Sankoh
The short answer
Tanya Sam reached for three Sai Sankoh pieces: the Kimora Coverup, the Sahara Shirt Dress, and the Xena Pants. All three are print-forward, all three are cut to move, and all three are ready to ship. Below is a closer look at each piece, how to wear it, where it belongs, and the exact links to shop.
Who she is
Tanya Sam is a television personality and tech entrepreneur known from Real Housewives of Atlanta. She lives in two worlds most people never touch at once, startups and reality television, and both put her in front of a camera. When a woman like that picks print for the parts of her life people actually watch, the print has earned its place.
The look
Tanya wore three separate pieces, and each one carries a room on its own. The Kimora Coverup is a print coverup that turns a pool morning or a resort arrival into an entrance. The Sahara Shirt Dress is a print shirt dress you can wear open and loose or belted and sharp, easy in daylight and just as right at dinner. The Xena Pants are print pants with enough pattern to run a whole outfit, no matching required. Each one flatters because the print leads and the cut follows the body instead of fighting it. Nothing pulls. Nothing pinches. Everything gets seen.
How to get Tanya's look
You can build any of the three at home. Here is the order that works.
- Pick your piece for the day. Coverup for water and warm mornings, shirt dress for a full day that runs from lunch into dinner, print pants when you want the pattern below the waist.
- Keep the rest quiet. Let the Kimora, Sahara, or Xena be the loudest thing you wear, and hold everything else back.
- With the Xena Pants, pair a plain fitted top so the print stays the story. Tuck it for shape, or leave it soft.
- Decide open or belted on the Sahara. Belted reads sharp for dinner. Open and easy reads relaxed for day.
- Add one heeled sandal and one strong earring. That is the whole finish.
Where to wear it
The Kimora Coverup is made for the pool, the beach club, a resort breakfast, and the walk to the water where everyone looks up. The Sahara Shirt Dress covers the day that will not sit still: a lunch, a walk-through, a dinner reservation you did not have time to change clothes for. The Xena Pants are your travel-dinner and rooftop answer, the pants you pack when you want one look that reads put together the second you step out.
The print and color story
Print is what gets you remembered. A strong pattern reads from across a room, holds up in photos, and hands people a reason to walk over and ask. Sai Sankoh prints are designed in house, so when a stranger stops Tanya, or stops you, the honest answer is that there is one place to get it. Color does the first bit of work, pulling the eye before anyone reads a single detail.
Fit and comfort
All three pieces are built to flatter without a fitting-room fight. The Kimora falls loose and open. The Sahara skims instead of clinging. The Xena moves with every step. And if you love this print-forward, made-to-be-seen feeling but want the easiest version of it, our goddess kaftans give you the same drama in one piece. They are one size, cut to flatter sizes 0 to 24, so you order the print you love without hunting for your size. Learn more about what is a kaftan.
