Hanifa collection by a Black Woman sets the pace for the future of fashion and technology in the global fashion industry. Hanifa used 3D Models for her 3D virtual fashion show in place of human models to premier her elegant ready-to-wear apparel.
The video which amazed many globally, shows the Ready-to-Wear apparel moving without humans just like models showcase designs on the runway showcasing figures with killer curves.
29-year-old fashion designer, Anifa Mvuemba, CEO of Hanifa is the first fashion designer to premier her fashion show with 3D fashion models in replacement of real models. It was also the first-ever Instagram live virtual fashion show.
Hanifa focuses on ready-to-wear apparel for Women and not just Women but Women without limit who embody class while setting their own rules. Hanifa’s designs are feminine, chic, and contemporary with collections in sizes 0-20.
Her new collection ‘Pink Label Congo’ was inspired by Congolese heritage.
She asserted, “riddled with a painful history, the beauty of Congo is often untapped and overlooked. The gentleness, beauty, history, poise, majesty, strength, power, and hope of the Congolese spirit inspired this collection. When creating each piece, I was reminded of the stories my mother told me of the women she knew back home in Congo. Women who suffered a great loss but still, mustered every ounce of strength every day to show up. I hope that this collection inspires all women to stand tall in their power and like the Democratic Republic of Congo, to use their history, whether pretty or painful — to redesign their future. My country, the land of Congo, is ripe with an abundance of natural resources — the greatest of which is its people — its women.”
As a new and fascinating development in the fashion industry that will be mimicked, many are questioning what the future holds for real human models?
Due to Covid-19, many companies are compelled to restructure and this determination has already affected jobs globally.
One cannot deny the power of technology and creativity showcased by many during the lockdown due to COVID-19, which has fostered many in this challenging and unusual times.
