Marie-Paule Pelle visits

designers whose creations have endured

for 2,000 seasons.

A change in the seasons poses many questions for the Masai but “What will I wear?” is not one of them.

So it’s ironic, points out style-maker Marie-Paule Pelle, that the Masai are now helping us to answer that very question.

African design is making its way from the plains of the Serengeti to the most fashionable watering holes of Soho.

In the pages of Conde Nast Traveler, Pelle’s striking photo essay traced this latest trend back to its roots, while companion articles delved deep into the fabric of African life.

Coverage that’s vivid, far-reaching and seldom seen today. In other words, the kind of article you’ll find month after month in the pages of Conde Nast traveler.
