Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, photographer Kristin-Lee Moolman set out to shoot a fashion editorial on the streets of Soweto for the EDUN SS16 Lookbook. The series of pastel-colored images depict the line’s clothing with the township’s scenery as the background. In her work, Moolman explores the idea of a ‘new Africa’ in terms of themes such as sexuality, security and segregation.
