Appearing in the 80s, urban fashion has today gone beyond being a trend to become a style in its own right that infuses all sections of society right up to the catwalks of haute couture fashion shows.

However, streetwear has not always been unanimous.

From sweatshirts to sneakers, what is the urban fashion wardrobe?

How luxury influenced streetwear and vice versa, how street culture inspired haute couture?

Once a month, around

Charlie Dupiot's microphone,

children discuss a philosophical theme, such as love, the future, authority... and today, fear!

This week, they are 4 around the microphone, from Lomé in Togo: Swady is 6 years old, Liam, 7 years old, Sefako, 8 years old, and Wilfried is 14 years old.

They share their fears, big and small, with us.
