Jean-Yves Kouassi Yébiéyin and Gaston Ouedraogo capture the unique history and culture of Côte d'Ivoire in Djainin – the brand name translates to “jeans” in Nouchi, a contact language that developed to bridge language differences in Ivorian cities. Their signature motif depicts Marie-Thérèse Houphouët-Boigny, the glamorous first First Lady of Côte d’Ivoire (1960-1993), an international fashion icon and humanitarian who represents nostalgia for a golden age of the country’s post-independence history.
DescriptionTwo-piece cotton denim set: jacket and pants with a photo print of the Ivorian First Lady Marie-Thérèse Houphouët-Boigny; White trucker style button front jacket with two flap pockets and matching pants with zip and button fly, side and back pockets
