La Sape

La Sape, an abbreviation based on the phrase Société des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Élégantes and hinting to the French slang word sape which means "clothes" or sapé, which means "dressed up", is a subculture centered on fashion, elegance, and public performance that originated among Congolese communities in the cities of Kinshasa and Brazzaville in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Republic of Congo respectively. An adherent of La Sape is known as a sapeur or, if female, as a sapeuse. The movement embodies the elegance in style and manners of colonial predecessor dandies. The philosophy of La Sape is based on ten fundamental "commandments" that govern the behavior of sapeurs and summarize the principles of the movement.
