African stunners languidly perch on the subject’s face in a unique Camo
nod to the huge early 2000's trend of shutter shades. These stunners
sport horizontal lines instead of tinted lenses. The vibrant pink slats
intricately intertwined, resembling the modern interpretation of the Afro
comb—an emblem of both style and status that holds ancient roots
dating back to Egyptian hieroglyphics. Thandiwe reminisces about the
confidence and fashionable aura she felt as a child when wearing
sunglasses. An emotion she seamlessly translates into this Camo piece
through the subject's nonchalant pose and effortlessly protruding
handles that evoke the essence of the comb.
The stunners represent not only a fashion statement but also a tribute
to the rich heritage and cultural significance inherent in the Afro comb.
Its presence is a reminder that beauty is not confined to external
perceptions but is a reflection of history, identity, and the enduring spirit
of the African people.
