New Beninese Designer Mimine Ag Present ‘Stepping On The Throne’ Her Resort Capsule 2017 Collection

Mimine Ag from her real name Yasmine Agbantou is a Beninese (Republic of Benin) – French fashion and print designer born in Paris and raised in Benin. Mimine is the nickname her mother gave her from the day she was born and Ag are the two first letters of her surname.

A visit of La Sagrada Familia cathedral awoke the ideal of having a woman pope. The whole concept revolves around the rise of a female Pope that would not have to hide behind shapeless and manly outfits to disguise her true self. Legends had it that there was a woman who reigned as pope “Pope Joan” in the middle age.

She had to disguise as a man to be able to reach this position and once the Vatican found that she was a woman she got allegedly murdered.  The time for women to have the same right as man to be elected as Pope is now. Equality between both sexes is demanded. The femininity and the sexuality of the woman figure will not be seem as a distraction nor a disability in this area of profession anymore. See images below.
