They also have to wear famous brands when they live in garbage dumps, they are the hippest "gentlemen" in Africa's slums.

In the slums of Brassaville, the capital of the Republic of the Congo,

There is such a group of humble and elegant gentlemen,

Good at using their talent, creativity and a very magical style of style,

to highlight their unique identity and insights into fashion.

They belong to the same organization, and the members of this organization call themselves Sapeur.

These have strict requirements for their own clothing brands,

Colorful color matching is their understanding of fashion,

The mix of retro and avant-garde is their desire for a better life.

Of course, Sapeur members in different regions also have different understandings of fashion.

But in the end, it is much the same.

Congolese Sapeurs are generally dressed in a three-tone manner,

Choose high-color blue, yellow, red, green and other colors,

After matching various cloth textures, or some personal accessories,

A peculiar hot breath of African fashion is greeted.

For Sapeurs, it is often necessary to spend years of savings to buy a complete set of brand wear.

Most of them started by renting clothes from other, wealthier friends.

As for buying fakes, that is the greatest insult to this group of elegant and arrogant gentlemen.

The members of Sapeurs are mostly poor people in the slums,

They usually choose a fixed day for the gentleman's gathering.

Whenever it's time for a party,

Sapeurs members meticulously organize themselves without missing a single detail.

Take out all kinds of "equipment" and "combat uniforms" that have been treasured for a long time

After combing through, head to their "battlefield"

The famous "battle" stage is on the street or in the local outdoor bar.

Each gentleman gracefully walked to the center of the dance floor, showing that their "battle suits" eyes were so determined,

It was no surprise that he might be a fisherman, a taxi driver.....

At this moment, they forgot all the unhappiness of life and only enjoyed the gaze of the whole audience.

According to the data,

The earliest origins of the Congolese gentry movement were due to the spread of young people here after about 900 fashionably dressed and elegant French colonists came to settle in the Congo.

Vintage elegance – tapered pants, fur-turned shoes, neatly trimmed hair, a tweed hat buttoned at a playful angle to the head,

When it appeared, it was simply irresistible for the Congolese.

Of course, this is also in stark contrast to the gentleman's clothes and the dilapidated environment behind them.

Even in the face of harsh and cruel living environment,

They still want to prove their ability to keep tidy in their appearance.

Because only under this gorgeous dress,

Only in this way can they give them a little courage to pursue a happy life.
