SHOW
Divinity Of Black "The DHC Amazons"
"Divinity of Black: The DHC Amazons" is a hair and artistic odyssey that celebrates the art of Afro haute coiffure through the ages. Inspired by the ancestral heritage, bravery, and power of the Amazons of Dahomey (Benin), this performance spotlights fierce, warrior-like women—leading figures embodying indomitable and sacred femininity. Through this collection, Murielle Kabile takes a bold new direction in which kinky, curly, and coily hair (BFC) becomes a living sculpture—a manifesto of resistance and beauty that fuses history with Afrofuturist aesthetics.
