LAURENCEAIRLINE is a menswear label and conscious project based between Abidjan and Paris. LaurenceAirline brings together a path between cultures drawing contemporary timeless basic silhouettes with deep African roots. Re-imagining the African continent’s cultural inheritance in a way that fashion and ethnic cultures can successfully collaborate to create possibilities for the future is the driving force behind LaurenceAirline. The entire line is made in accordance with conscious and sustainable manufacturing practices in LaurenceAirline’s workshop in Ivory Coast, where local people are trained to produce high quality garments following international standard. Valuing bold aesthetics and sustainable development, the label merges creativity coming from Africa with the sophisticated standards of modern societal way of life. In that frame, worldwide sold LaurenceAirline’s collections help build Africa’s modern reality into the international fashion scene.

Laurenceairline was founded in 2010 by Laurence Chauvin-Buthaud and she would like to thank the people who helped her giving birth to the LaurenceAirline’s project: Christina Schatzeder , Zohaer Majhadi , Philippe Galowich , Renaud Chauvin-Buthaud.
A native of Cameroon, Laurence Chauvin-Buthaud grew up in Ivory Coast and France. After a design school, she launched her brand ready-to-wear Laurence Airline in 2010 and made the wax, traditional fabric of West Africa, its signature.
She uses it to a collar, a border, pocket or sometimes for the entire garment, precision and elegant lines embracing harmony with the liveliness of the pattern.

SIKA Designs is one of those African fashion successes and was formed in 2006 purely from a true passion for fashion. The label operates from London and Ghana. The brand takes pride in its ethical status by ensuring that they keep sourcing all their materials and fabrics from local traders and stockists as well as produce their products in Ghana, thus encouraging local trade and employment. And the brand was awarded the Ethical Fashion Forum (EFF) innovation project award and regularly nominated for awards via the EFF Source Awards.

As undercover as she can be, 36 years old Phyllis Taylor was born in the UK to Ghanaian parents. From a young age, Phyllis loved the colourful prints of West African clothing; especially from her native Ghana, and though initially studying music and performing arts she dreamed of seeing them used not only in traditional dresses but also in garments that her peers would wear. So she went on to undertake courses in dressmaking and pattern-cutting at the London College of Fashion from where a trip to Ghana ensued and the rest as they say is history.
Sika Designs offers “stylish and wearable clothing inspired by the rich and diverse culture of Ghana”.
