Surinamese Wedding Catwalk / clothes, history & culture demonstration

This Surinamese cultural demonstration took place at a Suriname wedding in Los Angeles. Many styles of dress are demonstrated by the bridal party. Kotomisi, angisa, angisa, koto, anisa.

“The koto is a traditional dress from the Afro-Surinamese women or Creoles in Suriname. The koto was developed during the slavery period in Suriname; its special purpose was to protect the Afro-Surinamese woman against their masters’ sexual interest.
Different kotos exist for various occasions like weddings or funerals. The development of the koto as regular dress is not complete but it is still used in special occasions like the koto-dansi.
With the koto, women wear a head or body covering called an angisa or anisa . The folding of the angisa sends a social message, for example “Let them talk.” – Wikipedia
