Nzassa Festival 2017 by CISS SAINT-MOÏSE
Date : 9 to 12th March 2017
Location : Abidjan, Ivory Coast
Ciss Saint-Moïse brand
Cissé Moussa, founder of the Ciss Saint-Moïse brand and the Nzassa Mode Festival.
It was in 2000 that Ciss Saint-Moïse really started by opening my first store Ciss Saint Moise in Abidjan, and since then, my brand has not stopped expanding.
His various collections have allowed me to do many shows around the world.
In 2014, he decided to create my own festival called Fal N’zassa Mode.
Opening Show – « Soirée des Cultures Métissées » – 9th march 2017 – AZALAÏ HOTEL, Abidjan – Ivory Coast
A colorful fashion show for the triumph of fashion and Africa in all its diversity.
10 original designers highlight the African luxury industry through an exciting collection.
The first part of the event was the support of Guerlain, a member of the LVMH group, which supported/sponsored Nzassa Mode Festival in the logistics, make-up, and accompaniment of the models.
It was a first in Africa that an event was sponsored by such a company.
N’Zassa opened with prestige on « the evening of golden ladies« . Thus, gathered in a room, the most influential women of Ivory Coast have seen during a very chic gala, be celebrated one of the iconic pieces of women’s fashion: the little black dress. Ivorian designers have indeed revisited this key element of women’s wardrobe and local culture.
The designer Reda Fawaz was designated as having the best interpretation and received the Flacon aux abeilles from Guerlain.
All the participating designers will have their little black dresses displayed at the Guerlain boutique in Paris.
Venue : AZALAÏ HOTEL, 8227+5HV, 11BP1024 Abidjan 11, Rue d’Agboville, Abidjan, Ivory Coast

Final Show – TREICVILLE Street 12 – Fashion Street – 11th march 2017
Ciss Saint-Moïse want to pay tribute to the town of Treichville. It is there that he grew up and discovered the different arts practiced.
He then said to himself that it was necessary to make a festival to honor them. The first launch was difficult and slow, but today, this second edition is a great success.
N’Zassa ended on popular notes with a parade in the street of Treichville open to the public.
The people were able to see up close clothes that they saw for the most part from their television screen. Ciss St Moise has thus brought together most of the creative faces of Ivorian fashion around a giant parade, which celebrated the spirit of true fashion, the one that belongs to all.
This edition of N’Zassa Mode Festival has kept all its promises. Surely the next one will be just as prestigious, mixed and popular.
