Ethiopian Tribe Recycles Modern Worldís Discards Into Fashion Accessories
The Daasanach are a semi-nomadic tribe numbering approximately 50,000 individuals who live in the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia. In the past, the tribe roamed from place to place herding livestock around open areas according to the seasons and the changing availability of water. But over the last fifty years, having lost the majority of their lands, they have also grown dependent to agriculture. Like many tribes in the region, the Daasanach have moved to areas closer to the Omo River, where they attempt to grow enough crops to survive.
French photographer Eric Lafforgue has spent several years documenting the life and culture of these people, and how they have changed under the influence of modern manufactured goods. An interesting fashion trend amongst the Dassanach is their elaborate headgear, which they make from the strangest of materials bottle caps, wristwatches, hairclips, and other discarded pieces of plastic and metal.
The Daasanach spend months collecting bottle caps and scratching around for cash to pay for broken watches, which the women makes into jewelry and wigs. These are worn by both men and women, young and old.
Younger girls and children get the most basic version of the wig, while the oldest women are treated to the heaviest numbers with the most embellishment.
Men are only allowed to wear the bottle top wigs until they marry - after that, they create small clay headpieces decorated with a colourful harlequin pattern and enlivened with a feather, although the latter is only allowed after a hunt or a successful clash with an enemy.
The young men love to wear necklaces and earrings while the girls have bigger muscles because they do the most difficult work like carrying water, To prevent their headgears from getting spoiled while they sleep (apparently, they never take them off).

Ethiopian Tribe Recycles Modern Worldís Discards Into Fashion Accessories
The Daasanach are a semi-nomadic tribe numbering approximately 50,000 individuals who live in the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia. In the past, the tribe roamed from place to place herding livestock around open areas according to the seasons and the changing availability of water. But over the last fifty years, having lost the majority of their lands, they have also grown dependent to agriculture. Like many tribes in the region, the Daasanach have moved to areas closer to the Omo River, where they attempt to grow enough crops to survive.
French photographer Eric Lafforgue has spent several years documenting the life and culture of these people, and how they have changed under the influence of modern manufactured goods. An interesting fashion trend amongst the Dassanach is their elaborate headgear, which they make from the strangest of materials bottle caps, wristwatches, hairclips, and other discarded pieces of plastic and metal.
The Daasanach spend months collecting bottle caps and scratching around for cash to pay for broken watches, which the women makes into jewelry and wigs. These are worn by both men and women, young and old.
Younger girls and children get the most basic version of the wig, while the oldest women are treated to the heaviest numbers with the most embellishment.
Men are only allowed to wear the bottle top wigs until they marry - after that, they create small clay headpieces decorated with a colourful harlequin pattern and enlivened with a feather, although the latter is only allowed after a hunt or a successful clash with an enemy.
The young men love to wear necklaces and earrings while the girls have bigger muscles because they do the most difficult work like carrying water, To prevent their headgears from getting spoiled while they sleep (apparently, they never take them off).

REPORTAGE - Das Leben in Nord Korea
Iím 20, Iím North Korean
Miss Kim is 20. She lives in Pyongyang, North Korea's display window. She's studying
English. First of her class, she was lucky enough to come with me during my 6th trip to
North Korea as an assistant guide. She had never previously left Pyongyang. It was a
unique opportunity for her to visit her own country and to get to meet and speak to a
foreigner. She was shy at first, but became quite talkative as the days went on, and
describe to me the everyday lives of young North Koreans. Without ever crossing over
the Party line...
Small chats between friends who will never meet againÖ

-And Lady Gaga?
-I donít know who he is, no...
-Why doesnít English or American pop music reach your country?

-Why do boys and girls not dance together?
-They are shy, do you dance with girls that you donít know Mr.Eric?
-What is the criteria for beauty in North Korea?

I Have Seen North Korean People Smiling!
"Some say about North Korea that the only ones who smile are the "Dear Leaders" on the propaganda stuff", says Photographer Eric Lafforgue
But after 6 trips in the most closed country, I can say that North Koreans are not the robots many depict... They also smile!
Even if they suffer from the lack of freedom and a dictatorship, they can have happy moments in their life... This was not easy to take those pics as the guides that always follow you are always suspicious, even when they see happy people!

"Some say about North Korea that the only ones who smile are the "Dear Leaders" on the propaganda stuff", says Photographer Eric Lafforgue
But after 6 trips in the most closed country, I can say that North Koreans are not the robots many depict... They also smile!
Even if they suffer from the lack of freedom and a dictatorship, they can have happy moments in their life... This was not easy to take those pics as the guides that always follow you are always suspicious, even when they see happy people!

REPORTAGE - Das Leben in Nord Korea
Iím 20, Iím North Korean
Miss Kim is 20. She lives in Pyongyang, North Korea's display window. She's studying
English. First of her class, she was lucky enough to come with me during my 6th trip to
North Korea as an assistant guide. She had never previously left Pyongyang. It was a
unique opportunity for her to visit her own country and to get to meet and speak to a
foreigner. She was shy at first, but became quite talkative as the days went on, and
describe to me the everyday lives of young North Koreans. Without ever crossing over
the Party line...
Small chats between friends who will never meet againÖ
-Do you know Michael Jackson? -I have heard of him, yes.
-And Lady Gaga?
-I donít know who he is, no...
-Why doesnít English or American pop music reach your country?
-Mr Eric, because it is not what we like to listen to... But we know Mozart, Bach and Beethoven!
-Why do boys and girls not dance together?
-They are shy, do you dance with girls that you donít know Mr.Eric?
-What is the criteria for beauty in North Korea?
-Mr Eric, a woman should have big eyes, a high nose, a small mouth and a white skin, and she should not be skinny. Women in North Korea are truely beautiful flowers.
-Do women find Kim Jong Un handsome? -Mr Eric, thatís an outrageous question.
-Nobody dyes their hair in North Korea?
-No. We need to respect the haircut regulation, we have a lot of choice! -But donít you want to have the haircut you want?
-No, thatís the last thing weíre concerned about.
-Do you have any idea of the lastest European fashions? -No, Mr. Eric.
-Young people buy jeans in which there are holes. -Holes?
-Yes, they buy worn jeans or which have been ripped. -I don't believe you Mr.Eric, you are joking.
-Do you know the name of this character on the tshirt? -No Mr Eric. It's just a mouse. Itís Chinese!
-Is this a computer, Mr Eric?
-No.This is an ipad. You can listen to music, watch videos, and check emails.
-Really?
