Discover the African artistry of the Kibonen Nfi SS25 – Spring/Summer 2025 – “Bimbia II” collection unveiled during New York Fashion Week in September 2024. Top model Maria Borges opened the show in a dramatic, culturally-inspired look with headpiece.
“Through this collection, I wanted to depict the riches and vibrant trade of pre-colonial Africa. Our stories often seem to start after colonialism, but we were rich in culture and resources long before. ‘Bimbia II’ showcases that heritage using natural fibers and gold, symbolizing the wealth and sustainability of our ancestors.” – Kibonen Nfi
