I am impressed by the precision with which work Mr. Oscar de la Renta, I am moved by the perusal of Mr. Stephane Rolland.
I tremble with joy before the madness tamed by Mr. John Galliano, I'm in tears in front of dresses by Georges Hobeika, who tell me their story.
I like Mr. Elie Saab, Jean Paul Gaultier, Joseph Helmer ...
I am constantly influenced by Femininity.
For you what is beauty? And where can we find it?
Beauty is in my opinion 30% of Simplicity, 25% of good manner, 10% of Silence, 15% of Elegance, 5% of Fabulosity, 10% of Generosity, and 15% of Assurance.
Laughs... I hate normalcy so this will never be 100%.
If it is true that each collection has its own theme, we would like to know in general what is the scope of your art? It’s just for lovers of beauty as aesthetes, pleasure of epicureans, or else for the dream and abstraction of the platonics ? What is your target audience and for what purpose?
Beyond the cultural aspect virtually present, I hope that my work appeals to the avant-garde, the enthusiasts, as well as the common man. I try to magnify 3 cultures and I fight constantly against all these preconceptions that we know and as we live. I have the chance to master my 3 cultures. Yet history does us no favor. It is therefore vital to rebel as a messenger, or apprentice storyteller in order to straighten attitudes (shows, movies, music exhibition etc...).

Tai Chunn in during New York Fashion Week said of you: "Elie Kuame is what made me stay in fashion for over 20 years! The twinkle in the eyes of a young designer who is muttering the pit of your stomach, "words that are worth their weight in gold especially from a major figure in fashion. How, do you feel about your success? Starting this business, did you expect to do so
well? How did you enjoy the hospitality of the American public face to your art?
Nothing is granted, success is secondary for me. I work like a madman, not to be successful but to be able to develop an activity that not only make strong my country, my continent, but allow people to strive for better and this by merit and the quality of their work.
It is time to take the next step, don’t you think so? It is now imperative for Elie Kuame Paris to find investors or financial partners to produce and broadcast on international outlets. It is also necessary for the sustainability of our ambitions to find funds to stop tinkering, but do things in the rules of Art.
For now I am working on my craft. I can guarantee you that, when I met more than the minimum, it will explode.
The American market has taught me a lot and encouraged my work. I am proud of their appreciation and I continue my journey towards excellence.
The debate on the diversity of models is very heated, do you think the high fashion world, will gain by adding more colors on the podium, especially when you consider that part of the
