The world of fashion, art, and design has always been enriched by the influences of African and black culture, but only in the last few years have we witnessed the rise of Afro-descendant artists, creative directors, and designers who are able to make the most of their heritage and integrate it with Western minimalist aesthetics.
How has the world of fashion and in particular streetwear, now considered luxury, evolved?
On Tuesday, July 16, NETTALIHSHOUMA will talk about this with Jean Kouadio: an Ivorian-born artist based in Milan. He is the creator of JAYKAY, a clothing brand that through a melting pot of pop culture and African tradition creates custom clothing, accessories and home design products.
Attendees will discover his journey, his inspirations and his vision through Bienvenue Dans Le Film, a production that chronicles his creative process.
