Black Panther inspired fashion at New York Fashion Week

The new blockbuster Black Panther is set in the fictional, African state of Wakanda. The costumes, by designer Ruth Carter, inspired a "Welcome to Wakanda” capsule collection and we attended the launch at  New York Fashion Week. 




For the film the studio adopted isiXhosa as Wakanda’s official language and the cast, including Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira and Connie Chiume, wore costumes drawn directly from African cultures.



The cast have found themselves stars of a film that’s breaking box office records and has the world captivated. They attended the opening of the capsule collection and had nothing but praise for the designers.

If you haven’t seen Black Panther yet it is still on at cinema! Don’t miss the chance of seeing this epic film on the big screen!
