Brazaville, Congo - They Dress in Designers

More than a decade ago, Brazzaville was considered the worst city in the world to live in. But beyond the war and suffering, there exists a different side to the Congo.

The film makers (Enric Bach and Adria ) chose the Republic of Congo, seduced by the phenomenon of the ‘Sape’ (Society for the Advancement of Elegant people), a movement of fashion lovers - known as the Sapeurs - who were born in Brazzaville and who were, until recently, practically unknown.

Check out in this French video with English Subtitles:`the style and good manners of Parisian dandies - men who placed particular importance upon their appearance.
