In the remote world of Omo River Valley in southern Ethiopia, bizarre style and absolutely different custom prevail in these old and isolated tribes.

American photographer Michele Zousmer documented their garments, accessories, hairstyle and culture.

"I found these people beautiful, mesmerizing, magical, strong, rich in culture with similar values to ours – love of family, love of land, love of traditions," said Zousmer.
