Every detail in this photo is a magnet. On the right, in an elusive foreground, are the power of the textiles and some hands that appear enigmatic and almost invisible. Towards the middle, the posture of a model who looks more dignified than graceful at an impregnable side of the stage. Another model appears behind it, standing like a timeless sculpture. The scene takes place during Dakar Fashion Week Although it has existed for more than 20 years, it does not typically attract as much attention as similar meetings in Paris, New York or Milan. A meeting point of design, tradition and African avant-garde, the event prides itself on its ability to surprise in the selection of spaces that act as catwalks. This year it was the Senegalese coast and boats where the modest became the channel of luxury.
