Who doesn't love a little catwalk.. Literally..
Here are images from the Alexander McQueen Fall 2000-2001 collection. To focus on the styling I
found looking at previous catwalks gives me great inspiration and a different
outlook onto how others perceive the 'tribal' theme. There are so many patterns
and styles to take in it's insane! I feel his work brings the natural
theme of tribal to a more contemporary glamorous look. His models makeup are more simple and plain and I LOVE it! Suppose he doesn't want all the attention away from his clothes!
John Paul Gaultier created a fabulous spring/summer collection in 2005 theming Africa. The simple makeup designs and the hair styles captured the cultured life of africa.
The braids, twists and up-do hair styles gave the whole show an edgy look. Personally these hair styles reminded me of the unique plantation in Africa; their tree's covered in vines and branches.This gave the whole outcome a very raw, natural vibe, quite literally going to the 'root' of African life.
