Hcrop 0004 Togdjoussouderek 2

Vegetables and fruits shine in Kodjovi’s collection. The link that unites the content of the designs can be explained through the fruit trees (cocoa tree, papaya, pineapple), the vegetable (in this case, lettuce salad) and the hibiscus flower (the flower of love). All elements converge in a plant world.

Hcrop 0008 Togcorneilimg 0153

Corneil’s source of inspiration is all the women around him, beginning with his own mother, and the mother of his child, whom he defines as strong, feminine, and daring. He wondered how the contest could embody his vision of these women — mixing traditional wax with modern denim, hakui, (Les nervures) and honeycomb styles worn in Togo. For the photoshoot, he took his designs to the origin of his muses.
