    The Sape is an essential part of Congolese culture and refers to the Society of Elegant People. It is an informal group that brings together people passionate about art, fashion, and style. Members follow a code involving colorful, elegant clothing without dance moves, instead performing stunts with grace. More than the outfits themselves, members aim to impress others with their polished appearances as a form of art. While some Sapeurs claim a more classic style, all look to Paris fashion for trends and brands to spread within the Congolese diaspora.
