"Creation wasn't a conscious choice I
made - it was the obvious path for me.
For me, creating is about using
beauty as a form of resistance.
It is about forever paying tribute to a
legacy, using clothing as a language."
Imane Ayissi was the first designer
from Sub-Saharan Africa to be
included on the official schedule of
the Paris Haute Couture Week. His
shows have been captivating people
worldwide since 2020.
