The story

Festival International de la Mode FIMO RDC in Kinshasa

No fashion festival trading as FIMO RDC could be confirmed in Kinshasa. Kinshasa does have a genuine, well-documented reputation for fashion through La Sape (Society of Ambianceurs and Elegant Persons), a real Congolese dandyism subculture built around elaborate tailored style.

Festival International de la Mode FIMO RDC is the kind of arts event where the useful story begins with place, timing and the way people move through the day.
