Story behind:
This set is named after Kwifo, which literally means, the King's assistant. It presents an emblem of the Kom culture, from Cameroon: the double bell. The double bell is a royal symbol. It is used to gather the people at the beginning of ceremonies. For example, at the arrival of the King Afo-A-Kom, the Kwifo was heard.
In Kom, tattooing and scarification were meant for the royal women. When these women were putting scarification or tattoos of royal symbols (like the kwifo), people could see that the woman was from the palace, and they should not attempt to vie for her attention.
These women chose their lovers themselves. Once the girl had seen her first potential lover, it was time for the tattoo specialist to perform the art (Check the showcased image). According to the Kom, this was to bestow on her a special status among commoners and also served as a warning to men who intended asking her hand in marriage. (Walter Gam Nkwi, University of Buea, Cameroon)
The double bell is presented here by the traditional Berber pompon from Morocco.
The pants are high-waist jeans with two side pockets and colorful pompons at the waistline. The crop top is sleeveless, with a crew neck top, zip on the back and colorful pompons at hem.
