Brightening up the City with Zambian Fashion (Triptych)
Traditional outfits worn by Glaswegians from all around the world brighten up the city we all call home. Olivia’s dress is hand-made. The rich patterns and hues are inspired by Zambia’s cultural heritage. Despite the abuse, poverty, and homelessness she faced after moving to Scotland, Olivia’s clothes reflect her optimism and unwavering confidence.
