Surma people



I guess they are Ethiopian tribes. Though Surma people are famous for lip plates, I got interested in their body painting.
Actually I did a project about them last year!! colours, fabrics(actually flowers and leaves), their artistic strokes were soooo inspiring.!! actually I think Vivienne westwood might like them too or maybe already know about these people. They are kind of artists aren't they? :3  Check out "Natural Fashion-Tribal Decoration from Africa" by Hans Silverster for more information. There are loads of pictures of these people.
