PARIS January 26, 2010 Imane Ayisi mixed raffia-lined dresses with brightly colored skirts in sequins or airy silk bodices in his haute couture collection on Thursday in Paris.
“This is a window into the techniques of African artisans,” said Isi.
Models walked down the runway in an ornate mansion near the Arc de Triomphe, wearing sculptural dresses and sequined tops adorned with raffia.
The orange, red and green fitted mini dress featured traditional tie dye techniques, with orange Swarovski crystal embellishments added for sparkle.
“We’ve been through some very difficult times with the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been difficult for everyone; It’s time to try to go back again,” said Ayisi, pointing to the hot pink dress.
The Cameroon-born designer based in Paris is currently featured in the “African Fashion” exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Haute couture fashion week in Paris wound up on Thursday, featuring the most famous fashion houses including Christian Dior ( DIOR.PA ) and Chanel.
