LAURENCEAIRLINE

At ten years from its launch, Laurenceairline is a veteran Afrocentric brand, based in Paris and Abidjan and art directed by Ivorian menswear designer Laurence Chauvin-Buthaud. The style philosophy of Laurenceairline centers on re-interpreting traditional African fabrics via youthful looks that display a touch of the avant-garde. The bold contrasts of colors, prints, and materials – all responsibly-sourced and sustainable – characterizing each collection make a point of showcasing the beauty of difference; the intense palette and mix of functional and more structured pieces communicating dynamism, evolution, and the promise of a new tomorrow. Laurenceairline prides itself on capturing the always-on-the-move spirit of third generation kids who claim more than one place home. This spirit is reflected in a production ethos that aims at empowering African creatives to match the expectations of an international clientele attuned to the values of equality, tolerance and respect for diversity.en paragraph
