This piece, titled Planetary Ensemble, debuted on the runway at Harlem Fashion Week in New York City in 2023.
The ensemble brings together two recurring Afatasi silhouettes: the Fale Afatasi Sac Dress and the Solar Flare Belles. Both forms appear throughout the Fale Afatasi body of work, connecting this piece to a larger design language built around volume, movement, structure, and cultural imagination.
The title Planetary Ensemble suggests a world of its own: garments orbiting the body, expanding outward, and creating a sculptural presence that feels both grounded and cosmic.
