SANTAFRIKA
Ph: Sabrina Poli
Stylist: Paolo Baroncelli
Location: Watamu – Kenya
The Santafrika project was born to make a dream come true:
where tides create lunar landscapes, light and clouds
accompany you as in a spectacular endless roof.
A journey to realize a vision that combines the opposites of
Barbara’s personality: the conceptual rigor and the authentic soul of a
land called “home”.
Conflicting combinations, African braids sparkling with glitter
to reflect sun, gold lips and accessories of years past.
The essence of the project lies in the choice of couture-conceptual
clothes by end-of-century Nordic stylists, immersed into a pure
and uncompromising atmosphere.
Black-black, white, sand and vermilion red hues.
The hairstyles harmonize yet contrast with
environment and models; with their natural elegance, they
interpret a “by-gone” fashion between the West and
Eastern Africa.
Passion for colors, desire to experiment, and constant research
serve as the great impetus that accompanies Barbara in her
daily work, turning her into an out-of-the-box professional.
