Anne Veck - Sisters of Shalati

My new collection Sisters of Shalati was inspired by a visit to South Africa where I learnt about the warrior queen or Hosikati of the Tsonga tribe, Queen Shalati. According to oral tradition, she was no ordinary woman and when her clan was under threat, she would be the first to pickup her war axe and organise the defence of her people. My models and their looks epitomise feminine strength and determination, expressed through a diverse selection of action focussed textured hair styles, incorporating twists, braids, ponytails, hairpieces and wigs.
