The Surma and Mursi tribes of East Africa's Omo Valley as photographed by Hans Silvester in his book Natural Fashion: Tribal Decoration from Africa. Sublime.

These photos are fabulous... I love the juxtaposition of the foliage and the face paint.
xxoxo
I agree with Pigtown. Such beautiful photographs.
these photographs just lit a spark on every brain cell i own. i honestly can not remember when i have seen something so inspiring. a more beautiful headdress could not be made from the finest silks. it really takes nothing but a heart full of beauty. perfect, perfect, perfect. i am just jumping up and down in my head.
These are just human works of art! I may have to add this book to my library. Can I wait until my birthday? Hmm.
i have ordered this book but have come back to look 3 or 4 times. i can not get over it.
Hattastic did a post on these as hats and made me smile.
Philip Treacy eat your heart out!
