Founded in 2004 by Cameroonian designer Imane Ayissi, the France-based eponymous couture brand produces high fashion, made-to-measure pieces that merge the contemporary with the traditional. Known for his consistently colorful creations that feature simple yet eye-catching silhouettes, Ayissi became the first Sub-Saharan designer to officially show at Haute Couture Week in Paris in 2020, where he presented a collection that received near universal praise.
Ayissi has garnered significant international attention: since launching, the Imane Ayissi label has been spotted on the likes of Zendaya and Angela Bassett, and has received the acclaim of global critics and press, including features in Vogue editions, to Forbes and Vanity Fair Italy.
