More Tribal Themes in Fashion- Phillip Tracey

Phillip Tracey's 2013 show was engulfed with elaborate hats, masks and headdresses incorporating natural and tribal themes. His hat designs featured conch's, feathers, large tribal masks, cascading nets, horns and ships ashore. Interestingly, he paired the elaborate hats with black suits, inspired by Michael Jackson and used an all black ensemble of models with swept back hair and minimal no makeup look. I think teaming the elaborate hats with suits was quite a lot for the eye and mind to take in, so it was a good idea to keep the hair and makeup simple, to not distract the viewer from the main articles. Keeping the hair and makeup minimal also falls in with the raw and natural themes associated with tribes and nature.
