@voguerunway @xulybetofficial The tartan was used as a tribute to the Tati-plaid loving designers Azzedine Alaïa and Vivienne Westwood. “I wanted to give them a hug,” Kouyaté explained. Around the time that he was starting out, Westwood had just received an award and gave her prize money to him. “She really gave me great support when I started. I was really young and she really took my hand. I was really shy when I first started, and especially in Paris they’re very, very snobbish, so when they see a black African guy come in and disturb their comfort—Vivienne really understood my experience.” XULY.Bët by @laminebadiankouyate CEO @rodrigomartinez15 Styling & Creative Consultant @taticotliar Make up @annasadamori sponsored by @makeupforever Hair @thedreaaa Studio Manager @florian_coignet Product Developer @valentinemortreuil Show Director @miamoreimages Production @un_produced Assistants @a.heraut @marmarea._ @elviratiaou @julianisic PR @lucienpages @lucienpagescommunication @lazzarelligiulia Special thanks to @wilde_lelieu @zebres @boonparis Photos by @jaimelopezcano represented by @the_artboard
