London Fashion Week S/S 2011: Womenswear Collections
Kinder Aggugini
There was a distinctly African flavour at Kinder Aggugini, where the collection moved from a crisp colonial silhouette with sharp tailored edges, to tribal-style outfits with looser fabrics and softer movement. Prints were bold, fabrics were draped over the body in a loose fashion, and ends were knotted and tied, as if to secure the seams. The designer was influenced by Scottish explorer Mungo Park's 1805 colonial account, 'Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa', and his own transformation from white colonial observer to an African in soul.
