"On a mild evening in June, hundreds of punters arrived here in Paris for the Kaleidoscope Manifesto Festival. Opening during Men’s Fashion Week, it was a star‑studded—and very stylish—affair, with A$AP Nast, Aminé, Mowalola Ogunlesi, and Mati Diop snapping photos behind a mock‑reception desk. Those in the know made a beeline toward a highly curated corner designed to resemble a 1960s‑style African travel agency, with retro‑modern chairs in sage‑toned leather, anodyne office trinkets, and a chunky vintage keyboard and phone, while the words “Air Afrique” in bold black type and a forest green antelope emblem dominated the back wall." - Alice Kemp-Habib
