Trousers Kembe
1990s | Barbara Plankensteiner
Trousers from Vorarlberg embroideries for the Nigerian market are only the largely concealed part of an elegant men’s ensemble. To maximise the effect of the curved purple edges, the matching dansiki outer garment has an almost square basic shape. The application of Swarowski crystals provides additional glamour.
