Safari fashion is showcased at its fiercest in the new editorial for Vogue Netherlands featuring the striking Kinee Diouf. The ensembles modeled by Diouf throughout the editorial are each vibrantly colored, loose-fitting and often display eye-catching animal prints. Combined with a desert-like safari backdrop, complete with camel, this editorial exudes a sense of traditionalist Africanism.
Each dress is based on beautiful tribal garments, with their A-line, square-shaped tops and wild prints. One such ensemble features matching, red and white-printed pants and a matching top, accessorized by a chunky, green necklace. Diouf models this outfit while in a strong, yoga-esque Warrior Pose. She is shot from a low angle, making her appear much taller than she is and enhancing her strong femininity.
This editorial is one of the most fearless and memorable of recent months. Diouf is an incredible model, staring fiercely into the camera while modelling each of the ensembles flawlessly. Both Diouf and Vogue Netherlands have demonstrated that modernized traditionalism can become the pinnacle of high fashion.
