AfriKin Fashion Runway: TALATAY NDER - Fire of the Queens
An Emblem of Resistance, Beauty, and Legacy in African Fashion

Overview:
In homage to the legendary heroines of Nder, AfriKin Fashion Week Miami presents "Talatay Nder: Fire of the Queens" during the AfriKin Art Fair 2025 — a transcendent fashion experience rooted in history, power, and pan-African pride.

This showcase honors the women of Nder who, on Tuesday, March 7, 1820, chose self-determination over slavery, fire over chains — a sacrifice that became a beacon of liberty and dignity. Designers from across Africa and its global diaspora channel their legacy through garments that speak of resistance, resilience, and regal beauty.

Expect collections that blend ancestral silhouettes with avant-garde statements, fabrics that echo royal traditions and revolutionary spirit, and artistry that weaves the past into the future. This is not just a runway — it is a ceremonial reclaiming of history through fashion, where every step evokes the courage of the linguères and the soul of the Walo Kingdom.

Talatay Nder lives on — in fabric, in form, and in fire.

Date: Saturday, December 6 and Sunday, December 7, 2025

Produced by fashion designer Rama Diaw from Senegal
