Zanzibar: Sauti Za Busara Music Festival


Bugles, horn hats, & grass skirts at festival parade.


Umbrellas in the sun!


Painted faces


Schoolboy swag in white shirts and pin-on black ties. It's like the Blues Brothers of Stone Town. (This picture was not posed)

On the Swahili Coast... Marek in kikoy



As my first ever dressupnation post, this image I took in Lamu of Marek combining a Swahili 'skirt' with a Lacoste polo and his usual European swagger epitomizes what I want this blog to be - a showcase of style that is quirky, effortless, ironic, personal, ecclectic, and best of all, made in Africa.
