Story behind the work
The opening look of Diop's debut couture presentation in Dakar, cut from bògòlanfini mud-cloth dyed by the women's cooperative of Ségou. Every fermentation, every pleat is recorded — a couture practice that refuses anonymity.
A floor-length gown in fermented mud-cloth with hand-rolled seams, presented as part of FAACCE's first acquired fashion archive.
