Jewelry Designer Mckenzie Liautaud for the Here We Are Campaign.

"Everyone has a story to tell , Everyone deserves to tell their story and everyones story should be heard " - Mckenzie Liautaud. 

Liautaud,  a Haitian American designer born and raised in NYC  draws inspiration from his travels around the globe.  His first collection  Tribal Disruption  which was inspired by a trip to Ethiopia launched  at The Five Story. In this collection , he examined the relationship between tribal design elements and western design elements. For generations Western designers have been borrowing ideas and elements from African tribal design , however the reverse has never been done. The collection was designed from the viewpoint of a tribes person who has just discovered elements from the western world including Swarovksi components and nylon mesh and incorporates these new found elements intergrated with traditional African tribal design elements.
