Born in Paris to a renowned Congolese scientist mother and a Senegalese businessman father, Jean-Cédric Sow grew up in Japan, Germany, Congo, and France. Created in 2018, his brand ALINA SOW is the perfect combination of exuberant Parisian chic, unapologetic Congolese originality, and subtle Japanese avant-gardism. His design studio is located in the hills south of Brazzaville, on the banks of the Djoué River, an ideal place for creating new trends. With ALINA SOW, Jean-Cédric not only wants to tell a story, but also to write his own legend.
