Story behind the work
Touré studied as an architect before turning to cloth. Her FW25 silhouette translates the load-bearing geometry of Djenné's earthen mosques into shoulder, hip, hem — indigo deepened across nine immersions.
A sculptural overcoat in nine-dipped indigo, structured to hold the volume of the Sahelian wind.
