An Afro-European editorial inspirated by Western 50s and 60s fashion because that’s when this fashion first appeared in Africa. We celebrate African culture and hairstyles because in these years the beauty of it used to be undermined. We love to see how Europe and African styles mixed in a beautiful way over the last years. Our models grew up in Europe and have roots in Africa which they still connect with. The studio space is inspired by Seydou Keita with prints on the floor and background.
