Shamanism

Earlier this month I was contacted by third year fashion student, Yasmin Kheradmandan of LJMU. My friend had informed her of this blog and Yas was keen to contribute some of her work.

Yasmin has designed and created her own clothes based on the beliefs and practices of Shamanism. For those who are fans of the Mighty Boosh, you'll be loosely familiar with what a Shayman's duty entails, however, for those of you that don't know then allow me to explain thustly: Shamanism encompasses the belief that shamans are intermediaries or messengers between the human world and the spirit worlds.

Below, you will find images of Yas' work.


Yas explained how these designs are aimed at 18-25 year olds as part of the 2012 autumn season. The designs are influenced the 'Black Shaman Tradition', the most powerful of all shaman types, and models of courage and discipline; representative in Yas' designs.

    i really like these designs, even more because of the mighty boosh association! is there any way to get my hands on that scarf, maybe the designer has a website or a boutique on asos.com?
