YOUNG CREATIVE EXPLOSION IN DAKAR
The taxi stops in the sand outside a gray house. "This is it," the driver tells us. It´s not.
"Not one person from Dakar would say; I don´t know.
They rather take a chance, just to be helpful".
Aissatou Sene laughs when we tell her how many times we were "helped" to find different addresses.
After an extra taxi ride we have finally found her new store, Bélya, near the old airport.
She is one of many young designers in Dakar who started her own business and became successful very fast.
"I started as a model, when I was tinier, and was curious how to design clothes. By showing some things i've done on the internet, everything took off quickly", says aissatou Sene.
Today she has specialised in shoes and bags. When we meet, sheand can now invest heavily worldwide.
