DRC, come to the front. Y'all do not have to embarrass everyone like this. Democratic Republic Of Congo is also back at the men's Worse Cup for the first time in over half a century, and they are not holding back. Alvin Junior, Mac of the brand J Mac by Paris, created these exquisite suits in honor of the team's nickname, Le Leopards. Before anyone says this looks like a Cartier rip off, I love the Cartier Panthere line as much as anybody. But the people of The Congo knew about Panthers or Leopards long before the French. As we talked about around last year's Met Gala, The Congo has a long history of impeccable audacious dressing. These are known as sapeurs or followers of yes sape, which Mac wanted to pay tribute to. And these suits are sapeuring. Classic single breasted black suit, very simple, tearing across the front of these asymmetric panels of leopard print that reads sort of like a pelt. I love that it has this point, almost like the lapel of the jacket, but swooping downward. And the bags I am in awe of. This shape is so powerful and fluid, so imposingly large. It has these high points worst of like the emblem of the DRC's Football Association, but it's also reminiscent of a shield of some kind or how a pelt might look when it's laid or stretched out. So luxurious, but formidable. And the brooch just adds a little sparkle rank dimension in case we missed the leopard message somehow. This is such an impressive fit, a great way to present themselves at the beginning. I hope they score so many goals. Let me know what you think of this look. Okay. Bye.
