BLACK Panther- the movie that features Danai Gurira the child of Zimbabwean academics that set up base in the United States in 1964 despite making headlines back home has inspired a fashion show.
More than a thousand people packed the Welcome to Wakanda presentation in the West Village New York that featured the work of 10 labels, including Chromat, Cushnie et Ochs and LaQuan Smith.
a�?The inspiration for me was female empowerment,a�? Smith told AFP. a�?I wanted to create something that really just connected to the characters and the filma�� embodying power, and feminity, and strength and sensuality.a�?
Reviews following Mondaya��s premiere of the movie that stars Hollywooda��s first black superhero to get his own stand-alone film were electric, calling the picture a�?iconica�? and a�?astonishing.a�?
a�?I think what made Black Panther more fashionable than other superhero films was really about the cast, the attitude that the cast really embodies,a�? said Smith. a�?I hope it inspires young boys and young girls.a�? – online
