SMASHING SCARS 2016
_

#VivienneWestwood, #JunyaWatanabe même combat. From delicate swirls of raised flesh to intricate dotted patterns, the scars that decorate the bodies of Ethiopia’s Bodi, Mursi and South Sudan’s tribes are more than just the sign of an old injury. For these aren’t just any scars: They’re an elaborate part of a culture and signify everything from beauty to adulthood or even, in some cases, are simply a mark of belonging. These are the very same thèmes-à-penser that #SS16 #MirrorTheWorld by @VivienneWestwoo dofficial and #JunyaWatanabe Tolérance Tribale (with scarification make-up) spell-bounded in expressing – the #british loudly, the japanese calmly – their outrage on today’s world affairs in staged marches rather than dovy défilés. La mode est militante. #Respect.
