Luca Khouri Eyes 'Those Noble Natures' in Portland Parish Jamaica for Re-Edition Magazine AOC Fashion
Models Breana Carson and Val Haughton are styled by Vittoria Cerciello in ‘Those noble natures’ in Luca Khouri’s [IG] images for Re-Edition Magazine Fall 2021.
The images were shot in Portland Parish Jamaica, on the northeastern point of the island. Portland Parish is considered to be one of the most beautiful places on earth.
This fashion story immediately brought to mind two earlier AOC posts that are fundamental to our understanding of Black history.
The first is Jackie Nickerson’s 2018 images of Solange Knowles, shot in ‘Runaway Bay’ Jamaica for Dazed Magazine. We learned then about the area as an escape route for slaves. Not part of the Dazed interview was AOC’s own discovery of The Jamaica Maroons and the Danger of Categorical Thinking..
The second past AOC post triggered by the images themselves is These Abandoned Buildings Are the Last Remnants of Liberia’s Founding History. Young people may not know about the West African nation created by former slaves in Liberia.
Coincidentally, the New York Times touched down in Liberia two days ago with Marking a Different Thanksgiving Tradition, From West Africa. We will pick up that story in a separate post.
