Nigerian Model Betty Adewole on The Runway for Givenchy SS14
Ricardo Tisci quipped “The collection is a clash between two cultures, Japanese and African. I’ve been working with Madame Grès pleats and drapes and colors that remind me of Africa in a romantic way — but mixed with Japanese elegance and fragility.” Trying to trace the African elements here and I’m guessing it has some part to play with the billowy silhouette akin to those of desert nomads and the mask embellishments seen on some pieces in the collection. Nonetheless it was kinda lackluster to me.
