In order to magnify and celebrate women, Gilles Touré, an Ivorian fashion prodigy, in partnership with UNIWAX, the leading manufacturer of Wax African fabric in Côte d'Ivoire, has decided to issue a calendar entitled "Femmes d ‘exception” ("Exceptional women"), part of whose sales will be donated to the institute la Page Blanche.
Each of the twelve pages of this calendar reveals women who, through their dynamism, their career path and their determination to work, can be considered as exceptional women. These dynamic and very confident women are real sources of inspiration for UNIWAX, which works hard to satisfy them by launching, each year, innovative collections that meet current local and international fashion standards.
This fashion show is the continuation of the launch of the calendar and is a celebration of such exceptional women. To this end, Gilles Touré, in partnership with UNIWAX, a symbol of African elegance, has decided to organize an exceptional fashion show for them.
During the party, the guests will attend a fashion show presenting the latest UNIWAX collections as revisited by Gilles Touré's creative genius. Thus, the following collections will be rediscovered :
-
