Devotees of this dandy Congolese subculture live in the world's poorest country and often work many menial jobs to support their pride in fashion (their suits often cost many times the average annual salary). As a result, they're treated like local celebrities and get paid to appear at weddings. Le Sapeurs insist it's just as much about genteel conduct and pacifism as it is about clothes. The subculture started in the '70s in defiance of Mobutu Sese Seko's repressive regime. Recently they were featured in Solange's excellent music video. Read more about them here.
