Prêt-À-Poundo: Black Fashion Week Paris - Jamila Laqfir


Morrocan stylist and designer Jamila Laqfir delivered a collection filled with North African inspiration in a show circled around the power of suggestion. Laqfir showcased the use of a hijab — a veil covering hair and neck — and a wax headwrap, or gele, with a lace-like veil. Gorgeous cocktail dresses came and went on the catwalk with a lot of added touches including capes, light waistcoats and jackets.
