- XULY.Bët Funkin' Fashion Factory, or XULY.Bët, is a clothing line designed by Lamine Badian Kouyaté, born 28 Dec 1962, a Malian / Senegalese fashion designer. Lamine Badian Kouyaté was awarded "Creator of the Year" by The New York Times in 1994 and received the ANDAM Fashion Award in 1996. Some of his clothes were also a part of the "Africa 2005" exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. In 2018, he was part of the exhibition "African Metropolis" at the MAXXI Museo in Rome. With an impactful African heritage, XULY.Bët is best known for its use of recycled fabrics and clothing creating high fashion. It uses dead-stock fabrics but also reshapes found garments by cutting, printing and stitching ; making modifications that range from the subtle shaping to the complete transformation of the clothing function. Having started upcycling clothing in the early 1990s, Lamine Kouyaté often tells the story of his mother and grandmother who would always use existing clothes to reshape them for him and his brothers. In that scenario, upcycling is something living deep in his cultural and familial roots, a very African concept of creating and avoiding waste. His energetic style is often recognized by the red threads left hanging at the end of stitching. Their red color emphasizing the process of transformation from discarded garment to designer statement, also representing the color of blood, which unites all humanity, no matter the race, gender, sexual orientation... The XULY.Bët style is the reflection of Kouyaté's roots and life. A diverse universe mixing textures, cultures, colors and ideas, enclosing contemporary urban Africa as well as the fashion worlds of Paris and New York. His clothes are a bold mix of electric prints and minimal sensual lines. The designer's personal background, as well as his work, drew substantial attention from both the fashion and popular press. They've been featured in prominent publications such as Vogue Italia, I.D, Glamour, The New York Times, Le Figaro or Essence. Lamine Kouyaté's clothing and personality also played an important role in Robert Altman's film Ready-to-Wear (1994) in which he was portrayed by Forest Whitaker. In 1995, he collaborated with Puma and became the first label to create a crossover collection in collaboration with a sports brand. He then led the way by working later on collections with APC, Absolut Vodka, Naf Naf, les 3 Suisses, Leclerc... Soon after Lamine Kouyaté's beginnings, actresses and artists began wearing XULY.Bët. From Neneh Cherry, Rossy de Palma, Lisa Bonet to Grace Jones, Cardi B or Halle Berry, his designs have outlived the decades by being worn by them. In the early 2010s, Lamine Kouyaté preferred the energy of New York and migrated his collections there to be an active partner of the New York Fashion Week from 2009 to 2018. In 2019, he decided to join forces with young CEO Rodrigo Martinez and moved the brand back to its native city: Paris. He was soon asked by Lucien Pagès to join his PR showroom and started showing his collections in the French capital again. His Fall-Winter 2020/2021 received tremendously good press Ever since the creation of XULY.Bët and in alignment with his ecological beliefs, Kouyaté prefers marketing his collections on a more sustainable scale. The future lies in his use of recycled fabrics and carefully chosen collaborations sharing the same eco-conscious ethics as he does. (en)
