The Dandies Of Sub-Saharan Africa

"A new photo book by Daniele Tamagni explores the phenomenon of 'sapeurs', a clique of extraordinarily dressed dandies from the Congo. In the midst of war and abject poverty, these men dress in tailored suits, silk ties, and immaculate footwear."

This is really bizarre, but brilliant! Some of these pictures look like something out of a Wes Anderson film.

This is the second thing I've seen today by pure chance about cliques in remote parts of poverty effected regions. The other being a Aboriginal town in Northern Australia that has gangs who are defined by Heavy Metal bands. Metallica Mob and Judas Priest Mob are just some of the local gangs. Even the girls have their own with Madonna Mob. Watch that documentary on VBS.TV. It's really interesting! Also, there's a heavy metal dance off in it. Need I say anymore!
