@vlisco and Co COLLABORATION x olooh concept photographed by @nuits_balneaires styled by me “Sanou” the golden age Between the 1960s and 1980s Côte d'Ivoire was the hub of West Africa, it was the golden age of Côte d'Ivoire. It was distinguished by its architecture, its elegance, its artistic scene and the know-how of its craftsmen. This collection is a projection of Ivory Coast in the near future. A future where Ivoirians learn to value this golden heritage that has been bequeathed to them. This collection of spencer, quilted jacket, quilted trousers, bustier and skirt is inspired by the architectural lines of this period. The clothes are a mixture of Wax Vlisco and organic linen dyed by women in the commune of Treichville in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, decorated with buttons and bronze buckles made at the craft center of Grand-Bassam, Ivory Coast and leather accessories made in Treichville, Abidjan. Apart from the fact that this collection is inspired by Côte d'Ivoire, the message it conveys is addressed to this African youth eager for change and aware that change comes through it. #vliscoandco

Mon doux coin #2 La mort tombe dans la vie comme une pierre dans un étang : d’abord, éclaboussures, affolement, dans les buissons, battements d’ailes et fuites en tous sens. Ensuite, grands cercles sur l’eau, de plus en plus larges. Enfin le calme à nouveau, mais pas du tout le même silence qu’auparavant, un silence, comment dire assourdissant » Model : @my_name_is_the_beast #ishootfilm #filmisnotdead #blackbeauty #africanphotography #analog #kodakportra400 #225 #ivorycoast #mondouxcoin #filmisalive

Sentinelle « Nous apprenons aux filles à se diminuer, à se sous-estimer. Nous leur disons : tu peux être ambitieuse, mais pas trop. Tu dois viser la réussite, mais pas trop. Tu dois viser la réussite sans qu’elle soit trop spectaculaire, sinon tu seras une menace pour les hommes. Si tu es le soutien de famille dans ton couple, feins de ne pas l’être, notamment en public, faute de quoi tu l’émasculeras. » Chimamanda Ngozi Shot for @btendancewebzine Modèle: @fatimakouame Beauty : @blaiseyorke Photo : @kamder #films #35mm #argentique #analogphotography #africanphotography #filmisnotdead #filmisalive
