INSPIRED BY AFRICA, WEAR BY THE WORLD
OUR STORY
SPEAK YOUR TRUTH is a contemporary ready-to-wear brand founded by Gaëtane Salahou Lennon, where authenticity, the search for meaning, cultural roots, and contrasts are celebrated. Inspired by her Franco-Benines heritage, Gaëtane creates pieces that merge tradition and a contemporary vision of fashion.
Born from the desire to pay tribute to her roots and celebrate the beauty of contrasts, we believe that fashion and style are far more than just aesthetic tools; they represent a language, a means of expressing a worldview, connecting with others, and celebrating the richness of the cultural influences that shape our societies. By highlighting often underappreciated creative talents, SYT is committed to showcasing traditional craftsmanship while reinventing the rules of ready-to-wear with a resolutely modern approach. The brand's pieces are the result of a dialogue between history, craftsmanship, and innovation, creating a bridge between cultures, generations, and individuals.
One of the key aspects of Speak Your Truth lies in its commitment to craftsmanship. We place great importance on valuing the work of small hands, tailors, and seamstresses—the true artisans of this human adventure. We celebrate their know-how, their expertise, a tribute to the patience and precision that define their art.
S is not a brand born from the desire to create, but from a need to exist. It embodies a personal journey that has become a shared space, an invitation to assert one's voice, to dress as one is anchored, to create as one reveals oneself. Through it, Gaëtane offers not a style, but a language: body, mind, soul.
