Background information
"In his out-of-print photo volume 'Fashion Tribes. Global Street Style', award-winning photographer Daniele TAMAGNI has tracked down and recorded some of the most surprising and colorful international fashion subcultures. Through documentary shots and staged portraiture, he’s captured heavy metal rockers in Botswana, hipsters in Johannesburg, dandies in the Congo, female wrestlers in Bolivia, 'bling bling' youth in Cuba, punks in Burma, and models in Senegal. Often marginalized on the fringes of their own societies and looking to stand out, these people fight back and express their creativity and joy through personal style.
