last year he made history by becoming the first black African designer of being able to Showcase his collection to the very famous or close circle of hot couture catwalk in Paris so he is known for using a very European style with an African Flair his name is Imane Ayissi and he's originally from Cameroon and I was very impressed when I read that he actually has no formal design training whatsoever but he's been able to create his own path in this I would say very competitive industry so Imana Ayissi has has had many lives before he's been a dancer he danced for the Cameroon National Ballet his dance with big name like Patrick Dupond who was a very big French dancer he's been a performer and even a model for the like Lanvin Givenchy before eventually deciding that her he wanted to embrace the world of fashion design himself and Imane Ayissi says that he actually took him a good 28 years to be fully recognized yes he mentioned 28 years because in the past he is presented collection that were not always successful so he had to learn to improve his knowledge of tailoring textile and he was kind of in a mission in a way he's still in a kind of Mission to Showcase that you can actually use the African fabric in a very contemporary way so when you look at his collections you can you can recognize a bit of kente from Ghana there a bit of batik from Cote d'Ivoire or like the man Jack pattern from Senegal for example and last year he made his history by becoming the first black African designer of being able to Showcase his collection to the very famous or closed cycle of hot couture catwalk in Paris just to give you an idea big names like Givenchy Lanvin Dior also showcased their outfits and Imane Ayissi did mention that when he's talking about those 28 good years he's been applying for years and every time time he was rejected so I would say this is definitely a big achievement thank you
