. The campaign, unveiled this week, was inspired by the 1970s-era studio portraiture of West Africa – most notably the work of renowned Burkinabé photographer, Sanlé Sory.Sory was known for documenting the exuberant, free-spirited nightlife of Burkina Faso. Using black and white film and a Rolleiflex camera, he would capture the country’s young, fun and fashionable from his Bobo-Dioulasso portrait studio.
In Sory’s images, we see a snapshot of that era – a moment marked by its music, movement and anticipatory hope for a brighter future.The photographer was a perfect match for Wales Bonner, who – having previously been focused on the cultural link between the UK and Caribbean – has now turned her attention to Africa. Her Spring/Summer 2022 collection revives Sory’s optimistic, sun-kissed aesthetic, injecting it with colour and contemporary flamboyance.
