Modern Tribal

The influence of Africa on trends has been all encompassing. From fashion to photography to furniture, this eclectic tribal look is everywhere. It is bit shocking to see such strong color and print combinations but they add a refreshing jolt of bold energy to modern fashion and interiors.
