Honour African tradition and culture with this empowering Schön! online editorial photographed by Kweku Ian and curated by fashion stylist and art director Elodie Fromenteau. Models Kuba Acquah, Lyza Appiah, Matthew Osei and Edith Bangura are strong dynamic figures in lime and emerald eyeshadow applied by make up artist Gifty Aku Agoh, and wearing genderless pieces made by IZUBAA in Rwanda. Displaying garments that fuse fabrics like Kitenge from the East and Kente from the West of the continent, it promotes diversity, inclusivity, self identity and more.
