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!

I have to find this jacket.

IF YOU'RE GONNA BE A PRETENTIOUS ASSHOLE, YOU MAY AS WELL DO A GOOD JOB OF IT

This joke of a blog is ripping off The Sartorialist while doing a great job of proving Irish people can't look as cool as other nationalities and shows how much of a shithole Dublin really is. I really don't see most of these as style. I see them as desperate attempts to be different without any conscious consideration for stylistic taste. http://dublinstreets.blogspot.com

The girl on the left looks like she let a bunch of 4 year olds raid a closet of a wealthy widow and do whatever the hell they wanted. The blokes hair is bent.

I'm guessing before she left her house she asked her mates if she looked good, and like all women, they lied and said she looked "GARJISS!!!", reinforcing her delusion. She just looks like a plump knacker after a tacky dress rehearsal for some cheap play.

Don't be fooled, she isn't actually using a Sid Vicious type scowl in this photo. Contrary to popular belief it is actually the outcome of her genetical north side Dublin inbreeding. She looks like she's about to kick the shit out of the camera person.

I'm well aware that I'm not a stylish person. I like to keep things modest while being well dressed, but I still know when someone looks well, or looks like a bell end.
