Style and Status

Discover La Sape, a Congolese subculture where people use high fashion to defy their circumstances. Originating as a form of resistance against colonial rule, this movement sees men and women express elegance and dignity through their clothing. It's a powerful statement of self-worth and identity, proving that style can be a form of social activism and a way to reclaim one's narrative, even in the face of economic hardship.
