In an attempt to blend two extraordinary but very diverse cultures and strike a stunning balance between old world glamour and present day charm, The Great Gatsby was recently presented by budding fashion house, Keem Harun. The collection features style pieces that pulls inspiration from both cultures.
According to the brand,
“The collection is “an eye catching combination of sleek African prints with dramatic American flapper details. The 1920s, the year of the Great Gatsby is known for unprecedented economic prosperity, the evolution of jazz music, flapper culture, and forging of a genuine mass culture. Africa is currently witnessing its own cultural renaissance in music, dance, fashion and the arts generally.
Characterised by bold, vibrant prints, laces, fringes, mesh and ornate details; these looks mixes classic flapper ideas with bright contemporary pieces for a look that hints at old world but is full of life as it is today. We went for a 1920s American aesthetic mixed with new age African ideas for the entire collection”
