Hipster cool Ethiopian style

Dan Damon speaks to photographer Alex Franco about the unique fashion of Ethiopia's Omo Valley tribes. With their eye-popping colours, original designs and hipster poses, the men and women of East Africa's Hamer, Mursi, Banna and Bodi tribes playfully mix tribal traditions with contemporary Western inventions. From the dandy in the mini kilt to the lady in the coffee bean headdress, these designs are truly original.
