2: a east African woman wearing gold. Background has the ruffles of a dancers dress. Text = INDIS laboured not with her hands, but sang and made music, and there was ever light and mirth about her while the bliss of Aman endured.]

New Vocal Article. The Beautiful Tuareg Women of North & West Africa

Tuareg women don’t wear the veil because men “want to see their beautiful faces.”

Hello! Since there are three different ethnicities of dornishmen/women, do you think the fashion is different?

Yes! Dorne has varying climates and terrains, with some areas being rocky and dry, some just being deserts, and some more fertile and on the water.

1. The Stony Dornishmen are more Andal-like because they live in the mountainus passes next to the Stormlands. So for them, I imagine traditional Turkish clothing, because Turkey is basically in the middle of Eurasia, and is a good blend of the western asian and southern European cultures.

2. The Salty Dornishmen live along the Broken Arm on the water, so it’s damper than other areas but still hot, though not so hot as the open desert. I like Egyptian and Saudi traditional clothing for this, so it can have proper ventilation but still good coverage from the sun and wind

3. The sandy Dornishmen fully live in open, arid, dry desert. This means full coverage almost all of the time. While the ones who live on the coast can keep faces and arms uncovered, as well as be able to wear heavier garments, those who live in the desert solely wear the loose linens and cottons except when they’re out at night. In true Tuareg and Bedouin fashion

In the Privacy of the Tuaregs

Photos by Ferhat Bouda, 2016.

Between the Sahara and the Sahel, around the cities of Agadez and Abalak, in central Niger, live Tuareg tribes who have chosen to move away from cities, new technologies and assimilation. They are still semi-nomadic, but only move their camps twice a year and only a few kilometers depending on the rising waters in winter.

Livestock raising is their main source of income. Since the 1960s, however, many men forced to leave the villages to go to work in the city and thus be able to support their families

Women, very proud, are the pillars of the tribes. Refusing polygamy, which is very widespread in the region, they are the ones who choose their husband and, at the slightest dispute, it is the man who must leave the house and leave the children and cattle to the woman. In many ways, it appears to be a matriarchal society, but decision-making remains in the hands of men.

Several distinctive signs give Tuareg society its authenticity, such as its habits and customs, its arts, its fashions and other traditional weapons.

Remaining nevertheless the linguistic organ which structures the culture of the Tuareg population. This organ is Berber and makes it an Amazigh entity in its own right.

Tuareg man in Mali, wearing blue veil.

the Tuareg people are an ethnic group inhabiting the Sahara desert. Although they practice Islam, it is the men who wear veils, not women. They mostly wear blue veils which is why they are also known as blue men of Sahara.

Al-tighnari redesign by me!!

Me happy about Tighnari being the first character with an Arabic name to be introduced(being an Arab myself and enjoying the rep), prompted me to find out the inspiration behind him and his design. I came across a FandomWiki forum saying that Genshin Tighnari was inspired by a real life botanist/poet from Andalusia. I immediately had to go check and found that it was true! There was in fact a poet named Ibn Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Malek Almuri Altighnari-- Altighnari being a nickname in reference to the poet originating from a small village called Tighnar just north of Granada, Spain. But despite Andalusia having been an Arab-conforming place at the time (at the time of the Islmaic reign) the fashion was not plausible to be the true reference for in-game Tighnari's clothes. They were rather simple, although being the source of many other traditional clothes in the East. but it made more sense that the clothes originated from Easter Africa than Spain because Sumeru's forest is mainly based off of Persia and Morocco, and it's desert area being based off of Egypt. So I searched through the these exact places, their traditional clothes, and I studied each similarity, excluding Egyptian clothes cause I already know what those look like (way too far fetched for this qjhsnjaks) I had high hopes for Morocco's clothes, until I found that there were many missing details and too many iterations for their style to properly compare them to Tighnari's outfit's and its supposed source of inspiration. there was no large belt and no strange ropes. Til then I had come across another sadly debunked FandomWiki forum saying that Tighnari could have Amazigh origins, but despite, I believed it for a while actually! it was the most (if not the only) plausible answer, seing as how despite Al-tighnari and the Amazigh being from two completely opposite regions, it held more possibility that the cultural clothes that belonged to them could be the inspiration for Tiggi bois outfit. I was very fixated on studying just general Amazigh style clothing, but BUT THEN I came across one particular photo that had an outfit EXACTLY like Tighnari's and I went BINGO!! there was everything, the excessive misc, the colorful ropes, the wide belt and the strange accessories. I FOUND IT FOLKS!!! TIGHNARI IS BASED OFF OF TUAREG CULTURE!!! The tuareg people of the desert whose attire never fails to wow me. it's so colorful and lively it's actually so pretty!! So upon all this, I decided to recreate Tighnari's design to my liking to make him look more authentic!!

TADAA!!!

I kept some aspects of his original outfit, like most of the colors and the misc, but I also added many cultural touches!! the jellabah (dress), the headscarf and the traditional jewelery worn by women! I thought I would be a nice touch :D

if it wasn't for his ears, Tighnari's head would be fully covered, but hey, stylization is valid!!

The most striking attribute of the Tuareg is the indigo veil, worn by the men but not the women, giving rise to the popular name “the Blue Men of the Sahara”, or “Men of the Veil”.

i love how photos of young women in old anthropological books are always described as maidens... zulu maidens, hutsul maidens, tuareg maidens, chukchi maidens, hopi maidens... maidens!

a couple random Dune fashion things because I need them to round the world out better in my head when I'm reading <3

My newest obsessions have been Milis and Weimaos, the traditional veiled hats of the Tang dynasty I'm in love with the symbolism and the characterization they could provide...endless possibilities. I've been imagining them as a staple of the Fenrings and their court, mostly because the name Fenring reminds me of Chinese surnames a bit (In Chinese, Fen means fragrant or perfume if used in the feminine, and strive or exert if used in the masculine). So I think it would be cool if there were a future-ized version of these veiled hats, especially for Lady Margot like imagine her rolling up in a black one, her and her fellow bene gesserit obscured by mystery and also this gauze veil.

I've already talked about the Bedouin inspired clothes for the Fremen, and how I wished there was more color, so now for hair. I really adore the Tuareg peoples traditional hairstyles for women, all these complex braids that I imagine are a coming of age/status symbol thing when I'm reading Dune. Tuareg men are actually the ones who traditionally wear face veils out in the open, which I also think is fitting (though most likely fremen men and women will wear them outdoors, but the women still have the braids)

I toss around a lot of ideas for what I think imperial clothing looks like, but if I'm talking about the new films interpretation specifically, I really enjoyed the route they took and want to elaborate on those ideas. The loose, bordering on shapeless silhouette gives off two ideas to me. 1: these people are rich enough to afford lots of excess fabric, and not have to utilize every scrap to survive like the Fremen do. Luxury and leisure is available. 2: They don't need to prove themselves. They're the top dog, there's no need to show off power when they already have all the power. However I do like the idea of actual ornamentation when the occasion calls for it or when a member of the imperial family wants to show off, but the shape is still flowing and loose.
