Yep, celebs have really taken a liking to those almond shapes and super long stiletto nails. But where did these trends come from? Back in the 90s, the lead singer of the SWV girl group named Coko experimented with her nails as much as possible.

Valentino is one of the many designers that have incorporated African tribal motifs in their fashion looks. “Primitive, tribal, spiritual, yet regal” – that’s what he called his models wearing tribal markings and prints with leopards and giraffes. Nevertheless, despite the obviously African inspiration, the majority of the models he sent down the runway were white.
