Three-dimensional headless/limbless figures “walked” an invisible runway showcasing pieces from the Pink Label Collection, the lastest colletion from her brand, Hanifa.

The Pink Label Congo collection was directly inspired by the often overlooked women and beauty of Congo.

In a statement on the Hanifa website Mvuemba explained, “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.

My hope is 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.
