Lily Day 16

0 CommentsSunday • August 1, 2010 • by Lily

Today I wore another homemade african print piece. I romped around town today in this romper under the LBD.

It made me remember a show I saw a few years ago at the Brooklyn museum of outfits by Yinka Shonibare.

He constructs eighteenth-century European clothing out of traditional African prints. The bright, festive colors revive the patterns and transform them into a politically charged aesthetic wonder that inspires me.

Check him out!
