"You can spot them in the streets of Paris or at fashion events in London,
Milan, Brussels or Dubai. Most are black African men with sharp outfits
designed and chosen to get them noticed. Known as “Sapeurs” – the name comes
from the Society for Ambience and Elegance (Sape) and from French slang “se
saper”, “to dress up” – these figures stand out with their offbeat and baroque
sartorial style."

Share and enjoy,
