Lilly Vu

The creativity of the homeless and people of the Omo Valley tribes in Ethiopia is performed with spontaneous creations, without any planning or preparations. Everything that is captured, its flaws, its mistakes and its beauty will remain.

In this spirit, the collection focuses on the unique ensembles found on the street pavements and the vanishing villages of Omo Valley. This concept is revealed by the rough texture of fabric, the brownish color of the savanah which create an illustion of worn clothes, reflecting the homeless and tribal people habit of reusing materials.

As material choice, Lilly Vu used a combination of wasted clothinng, raw silk, waved fabric and linen.
