Korhogo cloth does not move like this. That difference is where Alia Baré’s (@alia.bare) SS26 Senoufo collection begins.

The pictorial Korhogo cloth we recognise today isn’t the fixed tradition it looks like. It was reshaped in the 1960s and 70s as makers responded to new markets, which complicates any neat story about heritage and its reuse. That history is where the piece goes.

Read the full story at the link in our bio.
