I am on Dazed & Confused Magazine's mailing list. So a week or two ago I got one of their usual e-mails. I follow links on the mail to view some photographs by Yang Wang. I was taken by what I saw as designed by Kim Jones, a designer at Luis Vuitton, the strong-coloured fabrics. There is something strikingly ecclectic about the fabrics of the designs. There are those western American elemnts, as well as South American, and some of the African clutures can be associated as well. Great fashion and style as menswear winter collection.
I downloaded the pics and did not peruse them until I boarded a train to Jo'Burg. On the SAA's Sawubona Magazine pages Wham-BANG! the fabric on Kenyan Masai doing a traditional dance in this article about Masaai Mara, where men and wldebeest converge. I had seen these, I though.

So I decide to go back to the e-mail and read more about this article. Yes, in the interview with Dazed Magazine Kim Jones, a former designer at Dunhill, mentions his influence for his choice of fabric as influenced by his nomadic life in Africa. So explains this coincidence.
