Mélange: A Celebration of Diversity and Cultures
The Kuchi nomadic tribal jewellery from Afghanistan is a symbol of beauty, strength and culture.
With a bold and colorful collection, Mélange is a celebration of diversity and culmination of cultures. The collection features traditional Kuchi nomadic tribal jewellery from Afghanistan, which has been recreated for the runway. The images are provocative, colourful and of striking concept.
Shot by photographer Mara Sommer with make-up by Kiekie Stanners and styling by Rachel Morton and Pato, the images are full of joy and exuberance.
The collection is a mix of colour, texture and sheer exuberance taken from diverse cultural references, working as an antidote in a time of global political uncertainty. It acts as a reminder of the joy that a cultural mix offers us all.
