POSTCARDS FROM MALI: KEÏTA STYLE Posted by Suzanne Shaheen As fashion week migrates from New York to London and then eventually to Paris, we've been thinking about global variations on personal style and popular fashion. The work of the Malian photographer Seydou Keïta seems the perfect way to address these motifs.

Seydou Keïta’s studio portraits reveal the aspirations of Malian citizens in the 1950s, contrasting expressive traditional African textile designs with sleek western consumer goods

Untitled by Seydou Keïta - Pigozzi Collection 2014 - Contemporary African Art Collection

I love this book - published in 1997 by Contemporary African Art Collection. Seydou Keita's portraits are a remarkable record of Mali society between 1948 and 1977. Mostly shot on a 13x18 large format camera.
