6:26 am
in the sun a rare pastime these days but possible in madrid and that's why the spanish capital has become a refuge for young tourists from france it's so so depressing being in a country that is nothing's open it's gloomy all day you have to be back there's a curfew it at 6 you can even see your friends are no cafes there's no you know you can't sit down with anyone you literally can't do anything in france. in madrid coronavirus restrictions are less strict than in other parts of europe and negative p.c.r. test wasn't. frizzy to to mind to come here she didn't have to quarantine and also brought a friend come here there's there's friends there is roscoe to mazing it's a dream come true. a dream that theodore stark and i have koby have also pursued the students live in germany and are spending a few days here they planned the trip with friends knowing that germany has advised
6:27 am
its population to avoid travelling tyrus countries. somehow you feel bad if you travel because other people are self isolating and you're not supposed to travel at the moment. but i don't think you can stay at home for a whole year either. we want to see the world while we're in the prime of our lives . during the day the students explore the city in the evenings they stay at home they say they feel safer keeping to themselves others feel differently madrid's police sometimes have to break up illegal parties held after curfew with participants ignoring current contact restrictions which is ideal for this spread of the virus this party was organized by french tourists. illegal parties also worry dr laura sons in the end they all contribute to more
6:28 am
infections. that get in america so we already have to be very careful with family members and in our everyday lives unnecessary contact has to be avoided it. the young people we met this afternoon in madrid i think both can work being responsible and enjoying the freedoms of life we do all the p.c.r. test and everything we wear the mask when we have to we don't want to bother spanish people you know we just want to leave again and in france we can to do that from now major it is one of the few cities in europe that still lives some leeway so that could change at any time.

fashionistas of the continent the congress. from a creative entrepreneur on how traditional patterns and techniques are influencing design and we'll find out how a beauty pageant is being used to fight stigma but 1st you've probably heard of the expression you can buy fashion but not style so well to hit the streets to find out what style really means to you so let's go. about you make for me. myself because i 1st have to show you how it's from a sound. simple.
6:32 am
it's something to express. with people. because if you do. it's not about money. now i don't know about 2 but i'm one of those people who could be in tracksuits all day but for most people i mean normal people these can be some thought that goes into what they wear every day then there's a 3rd category those who dress as an art form and if you've ever come across a suppose of the democratic republic of congo you probably know what i mean these men and women live for their extravagant style their performance and really africa's most elegant so let's just go straight to confess and check them out.
6:33 am
because i'm an old man i call myself. and i'm a sub. is my style. i'm a designer. which means smartly dressed man i train young people to become great designers around the world and i also teach them how to be calm. is a word in my mother tongue it means scarification of the chocolate people. when i was 13 years old i noticed the older guys in the neighborhood like wearing fancy clothes they were always talking about big brands from the west. and something struck me which i can't explain i have laughed clude since i was a kid so in the ninety's i joined the self-help movement. while i was an apprentice
6:34 am
. we had a competition during the cultural day. and i was a guest. i was awarded 1st prize. after this i threw myself into studying design in the ninety's i spent 3 years in brazzaville before returning home as a designer. about. other designers where i can create styles indoors where it is common and condition and my work outside in a market. in the midst of all the noise i pride myself in creating fashion that doesn't exist in the world. i draw my inspiration from animals and nature.
6:35 am
stands for the society of entertainers for elegant people this is the old definition my opinion it should be the society of artist and elegant. he is a fashion curator and also a creative director across the continent of africa how do you describe fashion and style as a continent right now what does it say about us as a people i think trying to define or even kind of like capture. the kind of like style of the entire continent is is ambitious because it's it's a massive continent with such a diverse group of people i think that it's possible to see trends across the continent. but every kind of like different area every different country has its
6:36 am
own kind of like nuances. i think one of the most interesting things to see has been this kind of record. action with heritage and heritage textiles so i've been seeing the works of a lot of designers of kind of like going back to these kind of like old. like traditional silhouettes and textile you know this idea that fashion can take us back in time as you see to digital fabrics additional prints can also take us into the future can we imagine a future through fashion absolutely and one of. a great example would be the kind in design a cotton and i think that includes work is so interesting because cotton grew really projects into the future both in terms of material and in terms of silhouettes i'm actually wearing a pair of pants from my collection from about in 5 years ago and around that time. was trying to imagine a sort of like possed apocalyptic torrid tribe which is so interesting because you
6:37 am
take one tribe and you like project them like 100 years into the future and really trying to imagine what life would be like for them would they still be doing the kind of like same practices that we have been doing for for years and years and i think that there's many many designers whose work. allowing us to imagine a kind of like different existence an evolved culture an evolved sense of africa which is interesting to think about yeah that's really interesting but are we buying into it as consumers understanding of course the production can be very expensive on this continent. i mean i think so i think i think there's a new awareness there's a growing esteem around. african and with that. there's also a very deliberate consumption and support of black owned businesses of african businesses ok that's really really cool and i'm really happy that you already
6:38 am
brought up african fabrics because of course i think it's impossible to talk about african fashion without talking about the fabrics from their dynamic brings to the color i mean they're recognizable all across the continent and all correspondence my colleagues and i decided to look at some of them and this is what we came up with. and. people use it. even political and. printed on the. internet and yes fabrics. young people on a really interesting. race. and. on average. 100000000.
6:39 am
every single year that is enough to go around 3 times a lot of these to come across similar very different only medium. the rest. she smuggled. from the. emperor of all fabrics. these are worn by royalty at a moment. where the. same twice that is a story for. the congo is one of africa's traditional. believe that the white cotton was originally imported from america and it's actually slaves we used to wear it but to this day remains very popular among
6:40 am
its africans because it's very beautiful and lives but today the congo has become an iconic part of africa and culture it's impossible to do anything really in this society without it some people use it in the kitchen some people use it to their babies it's used as a head drop mat a towel and even given as a gift at weddings and funerals. be careful though if somebody gives you a congo you want to see what they're really trying to say to you because each one of them comes in with a message right on the edge and some of them can be quite nasty not this one though it says empowering women through information i like that. me. bizarre wait is in the country no i mean this fabric it is also known is she telling it conquer or uncaring other african countries it is commonly used is an effort by women in zimbabwe it is considered
6:41 am
dignified to wear the zambia it funerals family gatherings and traditional ceremonies the fabric is often decorated with a huge variety of colors and patterns these days even political messages and religious messages was all printed on the. now this is a popular trend where young people like zimbabwean design a fairly nandy are coming up with stylish designs best on the african printed fabric these are worn during marriage ceremonies or simply is a fashion sting most of the fabrics that you find in the country are imported from tanzania zambia into a lesser extent china. ok so we've just heard from our correspondents and sunny i'm sure you recognize some of those fabrics the kiko is the shoe cuz so now into these fabrics that you are talking about about the past what are you wearing 1st of all
6:42 am
wearing a shirt by orange culture and this is actually a period which is one of nigerian textiles so there's a which there's a degree of a shock here there's a quarter. of a couple of more that i'm probably forgetting but what's really cool about a deer is that it's died using indigo which is a natural die. so i'm wearing orange culture yet and i'm also very curious about the designs that are on the it looks like old african symbols right here so. orange culture we did a whole kind of a collection exploring a dearie and what's really incredible about a directory many of the textiles is a textiles have also served in a. as historical documents so you find a lot of the symbols that you find on on african textiles have meaning whether it's a story where it's a message where it's like. attacks are they were supposed to be used in ritual i'll never forget there's a time i was in a cross and i went to see like some cantor dealers and it came across again to deal
6:43 am
as it sounds. underground in a very very. and i came across a kind of i think the called it an airway and where cantor used for food ritual and the symbols were like a symbol that makes sense and that represent things in. and that was really interesting a lot of meaning not just in the fabrics that are being used but also the this stories that are being written as you say and finally you're part of many i would say fashion movements of collectives across the continent what does that i mean what are you projecting as the future of fashion in africa what are you discussing in your various hubs when you come together. for much. but i think again for for for the longest time. africa african fashion and african aesthetics have always been looked at as inspiration so you get the global
6:44 am
north and the designers from the global north who reference africa as inspiration and produce but we've we've not really seen the designers from this region. be given the platform to showcase their work. and that even in the times of we have there's been this kind of like the narrative around it is very odd but i think over the past like 5 years we've seen a massive shift so for instance if you look at. a major award last year there was an incredible achievement against someone like. who is designing a line for colorado field that's a huge achievement has been very encouraging to start to see designers from the continent really rise and hold position in this incredible places that we never really had access to before because then it means that our stories our voices our narrative start to enter mainstream and africa isn't necessarily seen only as a place for inspiration but also the place of incredible talent i love that and i
6:45 am
can't think of a better place to end this interview sunny day let's thank you so much for making time to be with us they are listening to 7 percent now fashion is of course very much about the out parents and as we've heard from sunny it can be very impactful but so are beauty pageants but for the past few years uganda has been running a beauty pageant with a twist the men and women taking part in it are all hiv positive and they're using the pageant to raise awareness and fight the stigma that comes with being a hiv positive. this is the big finale over 40 contestants are vying for the crown this is you don't dismiss my plus if you can patent by the ugandan network of young people living with hiv every year a young person a scranton spire. this is a 22 year old. taking the crown is not the end of everything but it is. they stuck to my journey to hope to see young people overcome is to be among the
6:46 am
poor barons and the loves from care. 'd 1500000 ugandans currently still live with hiv and this is especially prevalent amongst the youth. gladdest was born with hiv and she understands why many of her peers are scared of disclosing their status. we as young people. we experience a lot of things but then there are these ones who can't come to this telling us that they're really facing because they feel like maybe they're there to they really can't come out when they are on. their level of being assertiveness to. someone feels like they really can't make it to the end where they're supposed to be. in the northern uganda hometown of do public disclosure of the status has informed other young people to be more open some of them. you know meeting someone
6:47 am
. new and t.v. like this from nowhere someone begins to really open up. in her role as positive lattices work involves regular meetings with young people to her it's important that her peers understand that wall and infection is irreversible. treatable and manageable as long as you stick to your medication and take care of yourself. discussing your unity is. popping them in disclosure trying to fool them really irritating them living. at 22 already somebody that her peers look up to. in a lot of ways was. supposed. to really give. that one hour or so go ahead like.
6:48 am
