Art Book Patheo

For the first time, this book chronicles the extraordinary life and career of Pathé’O, the Côte d’Ivoire–based fashion designer whose work has become a symbol of African creativity and pride. Born in 1950 in Burkina Faso, Pathé’O rose to international acclaim, famously designing shirts for Nelson Mandela and becoming a favorite among African celebrities and politicians. His story is one of artistry, resilience, and cultural connection.

Beyond his sartorial contributions, Pathé’O’s influence extends to global collaborations, including his partnership with Dior and his enduring work with Uniwax, a West African brand renowned for its authentic wax-printed garments. His designs merge contemporary trends with a deep appreciation for Africa’s political, social, and artistic heritage, creating pieces that speak to the continent’s rich tapestry of stories.

This volume delves into Pathé’O’s journey, exploring themes of labor migration, his ties to his hometown in Burkina Faso, and the work of young Ivorian designers who are shaping the future of African fashion. With an emphasis on textile traditions and craftsmanship, the book provides an in-depth look at the spectrum of African fashion, blending the vibrancy of the present with the weight of its cultural and historical roots. Pathé’O’s legacy is a testament to the transformative power of design and its ability to bridge traditions and modernity, inspiring audiences around the world.
