By the entrance of the fashion show, one and a half hour late, the public is waiting for them to come in.

Akuja didn’t have the budget to build a stage, therefore, they put compressed cardboard on the sandy soil and covered it with a red carpet.

The catwalk will take place in a bar and under a big toukoul where expats are used to party on Saturday night. The models are waiting outside the toukoul transformed into catwalk.
