Tribal Brights at Thakoon NYFW Fall 2011

Thakoon collection inspired by Kenya's Maasai tribe. They have interpreted the use of colour into the hair and makeup. Oldie Gilbert was the Hairstylist and Diane Kendal the makeup artist. The headpieces were woven accessories from winter knit hats, the hairstylist said she was inspired by the recycling that goes on in Africa. For the makeup the eyebrows were bleached and red eye makeup was applied to the lids. To finish off the look she applied three different blushers.

Their lives revolve around their large heard of cattle, they moved to Kenya from Sudan and settled in the rift valley in Kenya.  Their women wear vast plate like bead necklaces and bangles. The colourful ornaments are mainly created for their beauty, this is a very important aspect of Maasai culture. The warriors colourfully paint themselves with ochre.

Final images

These are the final images of the samples of tribal hair we did in lesson.

This is one of my sample hairstyles for my look, i tied the hair up into five ponytails then back combed all of the hair. Once it was all backcombed i then put it up with grips and added some colour to add to the tribal theme. i love this big hair because it is very modern but also very tribal, it was not very difficult to style this hair, before i would not of been able to do something like this but Seema run through the steps with us.
