Fashion as art form and personal statement in today''s Democratic Republic of the Congo.
British photographer Tariq Zaidi presents a fashion subculture of Kinshasa & Brazzaville: La Sape, Societe des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Elegantes. Its followers are known as ''Sapeurs'' (''Sapeuses'' for women). Most have ordinary day jobs as taxi-drivers, tailors and gardeners, but as soon as they clock off they transform themselves into debonair dandies. Sashaying through the streets they are treated like rock stars - turning heads, bringing ''joie de vivre'' to their communities and defying their circumstances.
