According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs (over four years of university tuition will remember this word...) :
"If human beings can not meet the demand for adequate food and clothing, there will be no demand for X.". "
But again and again, Maslow's little face was swollen, and his coffin was almost impossible to hold.
For the first time, there were many black brothers in the war-torn africa,
Body KENZO, foot WESTON:
It feels like braised chicken shop downstairs in the old broken fridge, from a pile of Arctic Ocean jumped out of a bottle of Lafite, or even 82 years.
From Congo, Africa
"The atmosphere and refined Association (referred to as" La "or" SAPE "association"), which claimed to be
"Sapeur" of this group of people, but really installed X as the primary productive force.
So far, at least in Congo
6000 Sapeurs, mostly in the capital
Brazzaville and
Kinshasa.
Brazzaville's Sapeurs cliche, the three colors of clothing, matching is the law can not be broken;
Kinshasa's younger, more avant-garde style, influenced by the high-end fashion and hip-hop culture more.
This group spent over a million dollars with head of Congo dandy who is not what the UAE, two generation, two generation of mine.
Drive a taxi, in the mining market, butcher, picking up trash, is their real identity.
Live in shanty towns, every day hungry belly, is their normal life.
Live again painstakingly again how?
Look at the Made in Italy in the suit label. That's what life is all about;
Smell the crocodile shoes from France's high-end, and instantly bathed in the dawn of god.
"This is the leather shoes but Winston, winston! The laogui! As a Sapeur, I must have a pair of own Winston, it's every Sapeur. I've saved two years for this pair of shoes. To tell you the truth, if I don't buy it, I can buy a piece of land here. "

"Forehead."... I was a civil servant, in order to buy these clothes, how many times I've maxed out my credit card, the first time I borrowed about $8600 to $6500, second times, third times to $8000, just to buy these clothes. "
- Muengo
Wearing a fashionable accent is the pious belief of Sapeur, so they don't wear fake goods in Putian. It's a desecration of the inner gods.
To buy the most expensive, the best: "replica YSL online uk, KENZO, Weston, Armani, Versace" are their favorite brands.
Even if you buy a second hand and don't buy a knockoff, it's a discipline that every Sapeur must obey.
The end of the hard work, take a bath, rub clean dirt,
A trim suit and polished shoes, walking on the dusty Yellow Road, enjoying the return rate of four hundred or five hundred per cent, which is Sapeur one of the most enjoyable moment.
By the end of the week, it'll be more leather:
From time to time in fixed locations held X conference made, everyone dressed pretend to be cool sitting gel breaking off his chair, while also comment on other people's clothes, also from time to time to express their views on fashion, finally will be selected for this week's "Sape" Sapeur.
They even set up their own
NGO:
"Sapeur in Danger", spread their fashion philosophy, teach you how to use the least amount of money to install the largest X.
This period of history "of the association, the earliest can be traced back to Africa during the colonial period:
When the French came to Congo and saw Africans crossing the streets every day, they wanted to buy the Emir in secondhand clothes in return for loyalty:
A local who tries to civilize "rude" and "clothes free".
Then Congo and Brazzaville quickly became white's favorite residential areas and colonial government sites,
They often dress rather than African domestic money as a reward, became one of the earliest modern civilization people in europe.
This is the origin of the association ".
In the roaring twenty years, returned from Paris, dressed in anti Andre colonists Grenard, inspired free Congo local elites from the French and Bulgarian colonialism, against unequal treatment, and to learn from the colonists fashion culture according to oneself.
African people commemorate the birth of Andre Grenard 110th Anniversary
For the next few decades, La SAPE has been regarded as a revolutionary act. By imitating the wearing of the colonists and highlighting their sense of identity, the fabric of the air is the rebellious spirit they put on them.
By 1970s, the great musician Papa Wemba dressed in gorgeous clothes,
Openly challenge President Mobutu's dictatorial control over clothing: "abacost" policy (banning nationals from wearing European clothing and asking them to wear a costume called abacost)
It is also a mass outbreak of the La SAPE movement.
Abacost: a woolen sleeveless coat with no shirt and no tie
"Whites invented clothes, but we used them to create art."! "
- Papa Wemba
In recent years, the government of Congo has also strongly supported the "La SAPE" because it can be of great use to the stability of the country,
After all, Sapeur will not be a trivial matter shot the neighbor's nose, was spilled blood and dirty my booger Versace.
Even if the man who saw Pharaoh, even if the heart of MMP, on the face is smiling, because they are elegant, dignified and elegant, are indispensable, it is compulsory for each Sapeur.
A few years ago, through BBC and other media coverage,
This subculture, from Africa, Congo, shocked the world with a fashion set in ruins.
Many photographers took pictures in Congo. They also held exhibitions on "La SAPE" in Paris, Tokyo and other places, and Sapeur even helped to make advertisements for brands.

There may still be a lot of people who condemn Sapeur's lifestyle, questioning the apparent selfishness and arrogance:
Why would a starving man choose to buy an old-fashioned Yves Saint Laurent coat instead of food?
But a fancy dress to the air show in addition to AK47, HIV is a waste place to bring a glimmer of hope, let them forget about poverty and pain, and why not?
More importantly, in this way,
Sapeurs revised the script for them to write:
The cruel environment and elegant clothes are the biggest contradiction between them and god;
Put their political demands and the unfair fate revolt over himself, peace and grace to the revolution, can not exist and the fate of each other more than cool.
Sapeur in Congo, even without eating, is also a happy person, because wearing proper clothes will feed the soul and bring happiness to the body.
As Sapeur expresses himself through the harmony of his clothes, he is returning to the worship of god.
