Taking forward our concept based on the picture layering photographic technique called Double Exposure. I decided to overlay the main silhouettes that ruled over the forties: military garment with a focus on british women's uniforms ( WAAF )and Dior's Corolle (New Look) collection.
This S/S collection took inspiration from traditional practices of Maroon tribes of Guiana. Their communicative art known as Tembé is intricately infused with various moiré patterns to be included as a print element in the project.Guiana is the home of a vast amount of people from different ethnicities and/or nationalities. Recently, due to socio-political reasons, tensions between groups have been slowly emerging. In an attempt at reconciliation, this collection named DAЇ ATI revolves around the following three words : Solidarity, Discussion, Friendship and their Tembé symbolics.
