Brigitte Niedermair Eyes Dior Resort 2020 North Africa-Inspired Collection

Models Adesuwa Aighewi, Ana Barbosa, Jiali Zhao and Ruth Bell are styled by Isabelle Kountoure in Dior Cruise 2020 Collection. Regular Dior photographer Brigitte Niedermair captures Maria Grazia’s homage to North Africa in a collection about luxury, globalism and culture.

The toile du jouy fabrics were produced as wax prints by studio Uniwax, located in the Ivory Coast city of Abidjan. Months before the collection debut in Marrakech, Maria Grazia packed by her toiles of seasons past—with her jungle creatures, wacky flora, and tarot card allusions, writes Vogue.com — and print their “gloriously and intentionally imperfect, labor intensive” interpretations.

Sophia Linnewedel Is An African Queen For Wallpaper As Ethiopia Takes Us To The Edge Of Reason

AOC moves from the elegance of Paris' Galerie Bernard Dulon tribal art treasures, showcased by model Sophia Linnewedel to the Danakil Depression. 

Bubbling volcanoes light up the night sky, sulphurous mounds of yellow contort into otherworldly shapes, and mirages of camels cross lakes of salt. Lying 100m and more below sea level, the Danakil Depression is about the hottest and most inhospitable place on Earth. In fact it’s so surreal that it doesn’t feel like part of Earth at all. If you want genuine, raw adventure, then few corners of the globe can match this overwhelming wilderness. But come prepared because with temperatures frequently saying hello to 50°C and appalling ‘roads’, visiting this region is more an expedition than a tour. Source
