Summary

In the Omo Valley the local Surma and Mursi tribes decorate the territory of their naked bodies with whatever nature offers, such as leaves, flowers, grasses, butterfly wings and snail shells as well as the occasional pen top or Kalashnikov cartridge. The author captures these decorations to form a parade of African fashion.

Natural Fashion by Hans Silvester

The nomadic people who inhabit the valley share a gift for body painting and elaborate adornments borrowed from nature, and Hans Silvester has captured the results in a series of photographs made over the course of numerous trips.
