Mama Africa

When will I see your face again?

Underskin Body Modification- Contrasts European ideals of beauty

Could design a whole lot from this!

Massai Warrior

Her face reminds me of Dijimon Honsou? Skin is glowing though

An emulsion made from local resources that conjeals the hair into bobbles

Baboon- with those Sol Campbell eyebrows

Colours are amazing in this photo. Isn't she adorable?

The Massai, Of course. Famous for their jumping 

NIGERIA







Emotion
Never been so proud to be African. Then this enormous sense of guilt comes over me for 1) never embracing my "true" culture before I heard of its fruits as well as never wanting to go back after being forced about 5 times.

The White Show That Never Was


So, I was meant to be at the Central Saint Martins White show but unfortunately there was a conflict between  the designer and handing in dates


Front
Right
Rick Owens top/Draped Scarf




                                                                                                                        


















































The + side of this situation was that I was fortunate enough to sit in on the first year Menswear critique and take pictures. so here they are.


How long must that arm have taken?

CSM Toilets
                                                                                                                                         


My favourite Look

So well made

Ginger hair + Freckles <3 - Nice work also?

Model-Andrew Thomas
Off to catholic boys School?

The tutors requested he unbutton a few buttons to reveal his chest. Ya know add some sex appeal. I dunno

Interesting effect on the jacket. Commercial...yes

Unfinished- Detailing on the bodice must have taken it's toll

Close-up

Favourite Blazer/Jacket. How much in black?

Designer + Model

Nice shoes. The  two front panels can flip to the back and meet together with a zip
to reveal a simpler design

See whatta Mean?

Close-Up

Best Concept- Three Stages of the After life represented through layers 

Heaven, Hell & Purgatory

Maison Martin Margiela Jumper WTF? Cash to Splash

Explain

Cute Design but the models got a more bad boy look?

Having a moment

Boredom= life of a model?


So, yeah this is first year work. I'm nowhere near this standard at all ,so yeah. Let's get back to work
