London based Sierra Leonian designer Tamu Thomas recently debuted a line of streetwear clothes – The Kenema Interlude Collection. The line mixes traditional african textiles and wax with androgynous aesthetics for a modern/contemporary look. More pics from the collection and words from the designer after the click.
From the designer: “With Interlude I’m exploring the androgynous aesthetic prevalent in a lot of 90s fashion. Going on to speak about the design label which started in 2010, Tamu said, “It went from receiving a dress from Sierra Leone as a present to discussions about importing them, to me sitting down and thinking there must be a way to use these fabrics in everyday garments that will appeal to a global audience, to me actually designing and producing an entire collection.”
