Stylist Adjusts Sequined Gown Train in Hargeisa

Heavy overcast skies diffuse the late morning light, casting a soft, silver sheen across the wet runway surface. A stylist kneels on the damp ground, hands busy arranging the heavy train of a sequined gown. The fabric shimmers with thousands of tiny metallic discs that catch the reflected glow from the nearby water. Dark monsoon clouds hang low, pressing against the horizon while the sequins create a sharp contrast against the muted gray tones of the weather. The stylist wears practical dark trousers and a simple shirt, focused entirely on the intricate folds of the dress. Water droplets rest on the hem of the gown, weighing down the fabric slightly as the train spreads across the slick pavement. at the edge is a single sequin catching a stray beam of light near the kneeling elbow.
