As read in Vogue, this season we dance to the beat of a tribal drum with modern, African-inspired pieces. This means that tribal fashion has conquered the spring summer 2010 runways. It was especially showcased by Rodarte during their runway where models resembled aboriginals and tribal warriors.
Anyway, a mixture of tribal patterns without looking like a clown is hard to achieve but it’s definitely doable. Simply pair for example Asian-influenced wood-block prints and Balinese silks with neutrals and pastels.
I once read that tribal fashion is nothing to be afraid of. I don’t remember the name but the person who said that was a stylist who compares a city with its citizens to an African tribe. She also said that tribal fashion is basically a city fashion. It requires natural hair and nude make up. The best way to kick off with that risky trend is to buy a tribal-inspired accessory like a bag.
