Anifa Mvuemba designer of the hit fashion label Hanifa just dropped her fourth collection in a "see now, buy now" format.
The designer who went viral at the height of the pandemic with her digital fashion presentation is one of the industry’s most talked about emerging designers. The self-taught designer loves to honor the real bodies of real girls, in all of their shapes and sizes. Last November, Mvuemba made her first in-person runway debut in her hometown of Washington, D.C.
For her fall-winter 2022 collection, she a used a lot vibrant colors which is funny because the designer told EBONY last year at her D.C. runway show that she used to be afraid of color. “I used to be afraid of wearing color, believe it or not, and now I make so many things with color. It was really important for me to show that because this is my first physical show and I wanted people to see what they’ve been seeing online all these years in person,” shared the designer.
The designs in her recent collection continue to adhere to Mvuemba’s commitment to creating pieces that embrace the female body and empower its wearers.
Standout pieces were an electric blue sleeveless knit turtleneck dress with stomach cut-outs; a body-hugging dress with a keyhole at the leg for a dash of extra spice; and flattering faux leather pants with a side-swipe of color.
