MOFWAZE CARNIVAL
Carnival in Guadeloupe and Martinique is a vibrant celebration where fashion and culture intertwine. This series captures the diverse spirits imagined of Caribbean women during the festivities.
The first look, Siwo, draws inspiration from the tradition of covering oneself in Mosyan Syrup.
In this variation of the Siwo look, shot in front of the Trenelle district in Martinique, Melodie wears a bubble skirt, shoes, and a crown-like headdress made entirely of synthetic hair, symbolizing Afro identity, resilience, and pride. The location itself speaks volumes: Trenelle, like many modest neighborhoods, holds the roots of our stories. It reminds us that beauty and creativity are born from where we come from.
