Tribal Influences In Fashion.

Here are two collections from different years that have tribal elements and influences and are shown in very different ways. Something I can consider when styling my designs.  

Burberry | Spring/ Summer 2012 | Christopher Bailey 

There are many elements in this collection that are subtle of the tribal influences, but there is a lot of them. The edging of jackets, the large jewelry, the colours and the fabrics. They all remind me of tribes that I have researched. 

A big 'mash up' of many tribes. 

I also think the music they have used fits well. The opening song, I Put a Spell on You, brings the magical and spiritual concept of tribes to the collection. 

Although I think that this collection is exceptional and works well, I dont agree the hair and makeup fit in well and have the same effect. It is a very plain, simple, natural look and doesn't have the WOW that I would like in my final images. 

Louis Vuitton | Spring/ Summer 2009 | FashionTV

This collection I think is totally different in the way that the tribal influences are very obvious. Again works very well. Everything in this collection from the clothing to the bags, shoes and jewelry are very strongly tribal linked. I think the makeup and hair in this collection are equally are strong as the styling and work very well as a whole image. 
The hair sleeked back with the large, crimped pony tail is very contemporary but with the fabrics in the hair still have a very strong tribal influence. The fierce dark makeup and deep red lips are striking.
