You realize: Create your own models of Nani swimwear and your line of lingerie. What, give pride of place to your creativity, your desires, to use all the desired materials, and to make things that look like you. The dream of ALL young women who like to look beautiful…underneath. 😉
It’s a bit like Fatou Kebe who designed a collection for Etam. As a young designer, she let me enter her world for a few hours.
Yes, this self-taught fashion and jewelry enthusiast was chosen by Etam for a collection of swimwear inspired from Africa:
These models, called Invincible, Unpredictable, Sexy Chocolate or Predator, immediately fascinated me. Warm colors, cuts that hug and enhance body shape, at the same price …

Swimsuits decorated with gems, you will not see them every day! The small ebony elephant in the “invisible” model, a cowry neck strap for the “incredible” model’s dress or even a glass bead necklace for the “sexy chocolate” swimwear.
But where does the inspiration come from? What does he actually do when he dies? How does he work?
On a sunny summer Friday, I went to his studio to talk about everything and nothing! About her passion, Etam, her project, even her relationship with fashion and beauty! So here it is for you:
Yes, 5 years of creativity and courage! € 8,500 grant from the Department of Youth and Sports, Seine-Saint-Denis. Selected by the city of Paris, to integrate Ateliers de Paris with other manufacturers. He is closely followed by IFM and several mentors; For his brand, he does everything! Marketing, Communication, PR, Fatou Kebe is multi-tasking. Design, creation, production … Without drawing, he goes straight to design. Everything comes out of his self-taught imagination, without breaks or interruptions …
What does this fatu do? Her fatou deadly line is sexy, sensual and naughty. A luxurious universe to decorate your body. Great material, imagination, we enliven ourselves with our creation:
Sold out in Saudi Arabia, Spain, the United States and Ibiza, the Fatou Fatal brand has won us over (and only one store in Paris … soon).
Yes, since the inspiration was Africa, the designer took the opportunity to start a social project: to create a workshop in Senegal to allow the emancipation of women. Etam brand and Fatou contributed financially. Fatou Kebe now employs 85 women between the ages of 18 and 56 through its workshops You can feel his emotion as he discusses the matter …. Private investment is real. These women made all the jewelry present in the swimsuit. Today, she has registered a workshop for the Fashion Ethical Show so that these women can continue working, discovering their new projects.

It was a meeting about 3 years ago! 3 years of news, missed opportunities, willingness to work together to finally create a collection that works. (Especially in the case of print, it seems … 6
Designers expect that (and we do). Maybe this winter, or next summer হবে will continue! However, between sketch, correction and verification, the line takes 3 months to take shape (excluding production). Is that what you want to get? If I.
I too … 300 € (approximately), from the model, we can say that it is a luxury … but your underwear is not worth gold, pearls, lava or Swarovski stones!
It seems difficult. So it’s classic but accessorized! From small boats, including original shoes. A cotton dress with a beautiful necklace, and of course underwear 7.
A glamorous woman who loves make-up and simple perfumes but has a real addiction to very glamorous lipsticks! He still gives us his favorite brand:
For facial care, she is a fan of the Mela Aura brand, to which she has been loyal for years. She even advises us for acne-prone skin: use the Papulex brand! Which apparently works miracles … 6
Underwear repeatedly. Simple things, new collaborations, repeated improvements. Enthusiastic, more and more …
ViVi LaChipie (Thanks to Fatou Kebe for allowing her sketches, inspiration and photos of creation for her time! Thanks to Olivia for allowing the meeting, thanks to Fatou – again – for this apple cake I just ate …)
