Natural Fashion

Tribal Decoration from Africa
by Hans Silvester

Natural Fashion illustrates some very remarkable forms of body decoration as practiced by Surmi and Mursa tribespeople in East Africa. The body painting is fantastically abstract; the use of plant material as costume is inventive, ironic and funny. As a way of presenting the expression of a very fundamental connection between people and the natural world they are part of,  Natural Fashion is a unique and beautiful volume.
