Masai Tribe

Fashion week has once again come and gone...I remember a time I used to relish in the idea of fashion week. I was thrilled to look at blogs about who stole the show and who decided to mimic their previous collection, but possibly add a fur collar...
Here is the thing- I am pretty tired of fashion. Perhaps it is not fashion that irks me, only trends. There seems to me a huge gap from the runway to RTW, and even further, the mass production of design that inevitably follows. I think that somewhere down this fashion food train the creativity and originality that designers present to us get lost in translation. The solution? I have no idea...keep persuing creativity and originality I guess. But, here is a little taste of style still pure and wonderful and based on tradition-that is untouched by our societies hunger for seasonal trends.





***Each color in their handmade jewelry pieces represents something different. Like for example green is the hope for the land to grow and be plentiful for their cattle, which are almost sacred beings to their village.
