Tribal Prints

Kevan Hall, a former Council of Fashion Designers of America member and fashion designer with a long career at top houses including Halston, has seen many tribal prints tossed around carelessly without any regard for the culture that inspired them. He’s even heard them referred to as “ethnic” prints which brings to mind the myth of the noble savage.

Tribal art (or ethnographic art) refers to the material culture and visual arts of indigenous peoples, usually ceremonial or religious in nature. This can include African art, art of the Americas, and Oceanic art originating from Australia, Melanesia, New Zealand and Polynesia.

The fusion of tribal patterns and motifs into modern, contemporary design is endlessly inspiring. From the improvisational geometrics of Keith Haring to the dazzlingly colored murals by Thierry Noir and Zosen Bandido, these patterns and motifs have been infused into everything from graffiti to fine art. The diversity of today’s artists, ranging from street to tattoo artist to painters, testifies to the continuing influence of tribal art.
