Designer Dominique La Roche believes in the Caribbean aesthetic. In his most recent collection, We Are The Sand People, he shares a tile in the mosaic of Indigenous Peoples and pays homeage to African heritage.
The term “Sand People” commonly refers to the San people of Southern Africa, who represent one of the world’s oldest surviving cultures, with their lineage dating back between 100,000 and 200,000 years.
They traditionally live in and around the Kalahari Desert across countries such as Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Angola.
For over 30 years, La Roche has been called avant-garde, postmodern, hi-tech and even theatrical.
His Indigenous Philosophy, an eponymous label, celebrates costume craft and wearable art through unique fashion statements that always emerge from a Caribbean context.
