    British photographer Tariq Zaidi’s Sapeurs: Ladies and Gentlemen of the Congo offers a vivid portrait of La Sape—Société des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Élégantes—a sartorial subculture that emerged in the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo as both spectacle and defiance. Its followers, known as Sapeurs (and Sapeuses for women), dress in razor-sharp designer suits, vibrant accessories, and theatrical aplomb, creating a living art form of self-respect and performance in direct contrast to the economic hardships surrounding them.
