Max Mara & the Mud Cloth



While I've always like the mud cloth of Mali as a design print, I'll be honest to tell you that rarely have a seen a person covered in this print and thought..."ummm...I want to look just like that." So you can image my little shock at seeing and loving these Spring 2010 designs by Max Mara Studio. I could definitely rock either of these pieces.

very interesting to see these designers incorporating African designs and aesthetics into their work. Even surprising that i like it. Usually, I think the only designer who does it well is Dries Van Notten. I even like white girls braid and kinky ponytail- I feel as if I should be ashamed...

Thanks for posting these.

so true!

i think it's because that many mudcloth outfits are poorly tailored.
