Kalakahl gaiters and armbands
Model Lisa Verberght was stunning in Kalakahl gaiters and armbands of 18ct gold from the Wright & Teague Nuba collection with a Ric Owens’ metallic gown.
This collection takes its initial inspiration from Africa, the cradle of the human race and develops to embrace designs and symbols that are a shared currency across the world. These pieces are hand forged to represent grasses of the savannah,a global geographic landscape feature, an example of cross cultural connection and referring to the earliest forms of adornment which would have been of natural materials.
These are pieces that project themselves beyond their physical confine, becoming part of the wearers legend and memory, their aura integral to a satisfying visceral experience.It is subtle, intimate and symbolic artwork, fashion forward with a craft based sensibility.
