Senegal bursts with color, from the bubblegum pink algae that dye Lake Retba to the blue and yellow mini buses, car rapides, that navigate Dakar’s stylish streetscapes. So it’s no wonder Africa’s westernmost capital city is also a blossoming fashion capital. Arrive on Delta’s direct route from New York, then weave your way through the fabric of a city defined by its modern architecture and contemporary craftspeople.
塞內加爾充滿了色彩,從妝點 Retba 湖的泡泡糖粉色海藻,到穿梭於達卡時尚街景的藍色和黃色迷你巴士 rapides 汽車。因此,這個非洲最西端的首都也是一個蓬勃發展的時尚之都,就一點不足為奇。乘坐達美航空從紐約出發的直達航線抵達,然後在這個由現代建築和當代手工藝人定義的城市結構中穿梭。

It’s already old news that Chanel hosted its first runway show in Africa last December at the picturesque former Palais de Justice. In fact: Chanel never left. In January, the French luxury house opened a new exhibition space, le19M Dakar, within the Theodore Monod African Art Museum. The free gallery offers local artisans the opportunity to dye and weave new works on site to display alongside the museum’s permanent collection. The gift shop is curated by one of the city’s most influential entrepreneurs, L’Artisane designer Khadija Ba, who’s also behind nearby concept shop Le Sandaga–an homage to the city’s famed Sandaga Market. L’Artisane is part of a new wave of Dakar womenswear labels getting worldwide acclaim (and dressing celebrities—Naomi Campbell is a fan). If there’s not enough room in your suitcase, pick up a steamer trunk and make the voyage home aboard one of Viking’s transatlantic cruise ships.
去年 12 月,香奈兒在風景如畫的前司法宮舉辦了其在非洲的首次走秀,這已經不算新聞了。事實上:香奈兒從未離開。1 月,這個法國奢侈品品牌在希歐多爾-莫諾非洲藝術博物館內開設了一個新的展覽空間—le19M Dakar。這個免費的藝廊為當地工匠提供了現場染色和編織新作品的機會,與博物館的永久收藏品一起展出。該禮品店由該市最具影響力的企業家之一,L'Artisane 設計師 Khadija Ba 策劃,她也是附近概念店 Le Sandaga 的幕後推手—這是對該市著名的Sandaga市場的致敬之作。L'Artisane是達卡女裝品牌新浪潮的一部分,獲得了全世界的讚譽(並為名人著衣妝點,娜歐米.坎貝爾是其粉絲)。如果你的行李箱裡沒有足夠的空間,可以選擇一個輪船行李箱,然後乘坐 維京人跨大西洋遊輪 回家。

Chic travelers can stay at the waterfront Radisson Blu Dakar Sea Plaza, located in the Fann district on the Cape Verde Peninsula. And before you go, catch a glimpse of Black Rock Senegal, founded by Kehinde Wiley, the artist behind Barack Obama’s presidential portrait. Wiley’s waterfront home hosts public talks and screenings by artists in residence, such as recently Oscar-nominated filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison.
