This is where the wild things are. In the hung garion town of more watch the socalled usuals road and im mixing it up with these terrifying creatures. I am in hungary trying to figure out why people come to mow how much every year dressed as these things. These mosques are the most important feature of a blue show they have made and it takes about 14 hours to craft just one each is completely unique from tourists pay several hundreds of euros to take them home as souvenirs. So gullible you make these fantastic masks can you tell us a bit about the story behind these masks and why people will ever be and ill use a show only a show meant to scare winter away making way for spring again. Its an old tradition which has been part of the local culture for ages and me. In order to fully understand this custom im turning into a blue show taking part in sundays big parade i was 1700 boozers congregates here in march accompanied by young women in traditional outfits that organized into 66 groups mine is called. The merry blue shows. Ive always wanted a moustache like this you know dreams do really come true. The rest of the traditional outfit consists of colorful knitted me songs. These leather shoes with leather straps. And a gigantic pair of trousers as the most important thing is your mask so that no one can tell you why. Very peacefully. As high as and they so i can take it off no youre not allowed to once you take it off you no longer of. The magic just about is exactly. Jackets a woman off the temperatures below 0 the noisy bells complete the outfit. Slowly im getting into the swing of things. How important are the traditions of origins for young people like yourself. This is quite your speak for the whole group when i say that the tradition itself is the most important thing without knowing the background story we would be real. Because it goes. According to legend in the 17th century inhabitants of the also means away dressed in such sinister mosques. But some also believe there is an ancient fertility ritual behind the traditions im still trying to figure out how to be a good. Just do whatever my friends are doing ok i want to thats me and so i scare people. Around or maybe ruffle their hair things like that and thats because theres a face like this yeah sure. Were off to join the parade. My group has convened around. The lido on our tractor. Our instructions are simple entertain them scare the masses be nice to the children. Seems like my efforts to scary or impressive. I call real. You see much behind the mobs. Weve users are still expected to be the stars of the show pushing out us has become a massive tourist attraction in the last 20 years the number of bushes taking part has grown tenfold ill give the scaring thing another go. But being a scary bush seems to require some practice and experience. Once the sun sets everyone gathers around the shoots bonfire at the main square some bushes use the chance for a hellish dance but im tired after a long day. This is the end for me as a blues show its been a long and tiring day i think this tradition so many different meanings to Something Different the target to be a long time its been a real pleasure to experience what its like to live behind the mosque. You know the boozers will keep dancing until the fire has burned out and even then theyll probably still keep going up to that.

I dont understand why that is but in france its much more difficult than in other countries like. The name black fashion week is harshly criticized people accuse me of trying to segregate our black community which is viewed negatively. But for me black fashion week is not about skin color its about our culture.

I will always be grateful to adama for everything shes made possible for me with her help ive been able to walk on catwalks for various labels and do photo shoots for fashion magazines.

In 2019 began selling her fashion along with that of other african designers at a boutique in the heart of paris the colors materials and cuts make the african influence clearly visible pop star beyond say has already been seen with this bag.
