FETISH PUNK

If you have a rock soul, this year you can choose a more aggressive look inspired by the many dark ladies dressed in black leather seen during the autumn-winter 2017/18 catwalks.  Buckles and chains, studs and brooches, but also elegant and hyper-feminine shapes characterize shoes which are halfway between fetish punk and underground style.

AFROPUNK

Afropunk is a musical festival expressing Black pride and culture. Music sounds, many different styles, colors and beauty compose an explosive mix. The first Afropunk festival takes place in Brooklyn, New York, in 2005. Today, in addition to Commodore Barry Park at Fort Green, there are four new locations: Paris, London, Atlanta and Johannesburg. The name of the festival derives from the title of James Spooner's 2003 documentary, a story about punk minorities in the african-american world, of a black community fond of “white music”. The documentary is also the inspiration of the theme of each edition of the Festival: the rejection of any kind of discrimination in the name of art and music.

 There are emerging designers coming from the African world and inspired by their origins.

THEBE MAGUGU is a contemporary South African fashion brand primarily operating within the field of women’s ready to wear. The collections mixes forward-thinking design with motifs from Africa's storied past.
