A few girls rocking Hidho iyo dhaqan, a traditional Somali dress. If you know a Somali then you're probably familiar with the dirac/dira'. This is its predecessor, worn by Somali women before the dirac came into fashion.
It's normal to see Somali brides wearing this type of outfit at one of the many parties thrown at the time of a marriage celebration.
Taken at a Somali fundraising event I attended during my stay in Wellington late last year.
