The Democratic Republic of Congo is the birthplace of SAPE, or the Society of Ambience and Elegant People, a loosely organized cult of dandies known as “les sapeurs.” “Everybody wears these amazing colorful clothes and are so eager to show who they are,” said @shayjoy, a journalist who traveled to #Congo on a fellowship documenting energy poverty. She wanted to capture how people, many of whom don’t have reliable electricity or access to water, maintain pride in their appearance. “When I talked to people in Congo, they would say that, despite all the struggles and despite all the misery, pride in the way they dress is something they take really seriously,” @shayjoy told @nytimesfashion. Among the people she met: Olivier Bayongwa, a musician known as El’Weezya Fantastikoh, shown in this moving portrait. “These 2 necklaces mean a lot to me,” he said. “The first one shows a pharaoh and the Egyptian pyramids. The second one is Versace and is a gift from my girlfriend.” Visit the link in our profile to see more portraits from Goma, #DemocraticRepublicOfCongo.
