Tribal
Trend Alert: Tribal Designs!
Tribal is Taking Over!!.
It started during New York Fashion week, when Rodarte’s models dawned tribal style body paint on their arms as they walked the runway. Each model’s designs were unique and it looked great with the slicked hair and green lights. Last month in Italian Vogue, photographer David Sim’s published an amazing editorial spread focused on designer clothing and tribal art. Inspired by both looks, I actually did a photoshoot of my own centered around this tribal art. It’s actually much harder to do than it looks! The lines needed to be clean and I only had several hours to do two models. It was really fun though!
Most recently, Shakira put out a new video where she and her dancers are sportting the tribal trend! They only wear the art on one arm but this is a great example to show how much fashion influences all aspects of the media. It started on the runway, traveled to editorial and ended up in the mainstream music scene. So cool!
