Virtual Runway

Anifa Mvuemba sparks a digital revolution

Virtual Runway - When the pandemic dashed Anifa Mvuemba’s plans to show her Pink Label Congo collection at New York’s Fashion Week last May, she went virtual.

The Kensington, Maryland, designer created a video in which a 3-D avatar models her flowing, size-inclusive apparel. Mvuemba’s sleight of hand captivated influencers from Vogue to Beyoncé; since then, her Hanifa label has launched the Resort collection, with shapewear coming soon.
