13/05/2009
They joined "the ledger wall" of the most iconic artists of the Ivory Coast offered to see the Palace of Culture in Abidjan. It could not be otherwise ...
They have deserved their place alongside other art professionals. The mythical story of Genesis tells that God making clothes with leaves to cover the nakedness of the first woman and first man, Adam and Eve before their expulsion from the Garden of Eden . This means that their art has existed since time immemorial, since human beings have felt the need to protect his body from the weather and all forms of external aggression.
The Director General of the Culture Palace in Abidjan, Sidiki Bakaba, to whom we should have opened this great book for posterity and to the corridors of this Temple talk to any visitor, no one had not forgotten. They are the fashion designers.
Among the dozens of photographs of singers, artists, musicians, visual artists, actors who dress up and give life to the walls of the Palais de la Culture in Abidjan, are also since Tuesday, May 12, 2009, portraits of fashion designers. They are housed above the bar in the lobby of the hall Kodjo Ebouclé.
Symbolically, the first five designers designers have had the privilege to be so honored. These Angybell, Michele Yakice of Pathé'O, Ciss of Moses and Saint Gilles Toure. Visitors can admire each of its creators and get an idea of their artistic career and professional thanks to the little biographical text that accompanies each photograph.
It may be noted that in the ce ; Rémon formal presentation of these portraits, Sidiki Bakaba stressed the importance for Côte d'Ivoire have a memory for posterity. Designers in turn, by the voice of Ciss St. Moses, president of the Association of Fashion Designers of Côte d'Ivoire (ACMCI), expressed their gratitude to the Director General ; ral Palace of Culture.

Dadi, directed by Sidiki Bakaba and produced by Ayala Bakaba (General Manager of the Palace of Culture).

Distinguished Guests, dear friends fashion designers.
"I'm not a designer, I am a craftsman, a maker of happiness," said Yves Saint Laurent.
The Association of Fashion Designers Coast Ivory (ACMCI) wants, through me, to acknowledge and thank very warmly and formally Sidiki Bakaba Mr. and Mrs. Ayala Bakaba.
In accepting the mission that has been entrusted e by the President of the Republic, His Excellency Laurent Gbagbo, to come serve their country, they have consistently, year after year, to provide testimony yours not only their commitment to culture and development, but also and especially for their unwavering love for our dear Côte d'Ivoire.
They was all the fighting, even at the height of the crisis, holding high the banner and proud of Culture Ivorian risking their lives. The Ivorians must know.
They must also know that this palace that we received tonight, lacked warmth 9 years ago. Today, it teems with life. Its walls were cold and they now tell the great epic of our culture by setting our minds into the faces of those who gave him a soul. I would like to nominate artists.
With the creative genius of Sidiki Bakaba (let us not mince words), Côte d'Ivoire has virtually its pantheon makers of Art and Culture.
And so far the Fashion Designers were not represented, n'è ; silent not forgetfulness. The icing on the cake always arises at the end of the book for the crown.
The Association of Fashion Designers of Côte d'Ivoire would also by my votes, Mr. and Mrs. Sidiki Bakaba, thank you.
So, this day will be inscribed in golden letters in the annals of the history of Côte d'Ivoire, as it marks l & rsquo ; entry of Fashion Designers in posterity and immortality of the Ivorian culture.
It is also recognition that Fashion is an art full and the Stylists Stylists must be recognized and honored as such. Yves Saint Laurent said rightly: "I tried to show that fashion is an art."
Or: " Dior had learned to love something other than fashion and design: the basic nobility of the profession of designer. "
To paraphrase Great Creator, we can solemnly declare tonight that your quality of Grand Designer of the Art, you have, the immense scope of the ceremony that we re unit, unveiled "the fundamental nobility of our craft designer.
Thank you.

It's really great day for me. I recommend to younger working tirelessly. The collection that I made is made of raffia based in universal dimensions. I have already held the festival of Cannes.
Michele Yakice:
This is a first . There was never any photos of fashion at the Palais. It is an immense joy for us. Other designers followed, God willing, to live the Palace.
Gilles Toure:
A sense of happiness, pure happiness. I am very pleased. Now the battle begins. Let your kids make the sewing must get rid of prejudices. Today, I am a very honored, very proud. It is rich in symbol. It is recognition of our work.
Pathé'O:
We must work to be recognized. Fashion is also part of the most important countries. It is a gesture that honors us. But at the same time, we are accountable. We must set an example for young people who arrive.
