Frederick Anderson's latest Spring/Summer 2025 collection, "My Africa", presented at New York Fashion
Week, reflects his ongoing exploration of the African Diaspora and global themes through fashion.
Drawing inspiration from his travels to Northern Africa, particularly Morocco and Egypt, Anderson
blends traditional kaftans, robes, and beading with modern city-ready designs. His collection, featuring
flowing gowns, jumpsuits, and separates, emphasizes the connection between motion and the earth.
Anderson's use of sun-drenched colors and natural textures mirrors the landscapes of the desert, while
his signature lace and skin-revealing designs convey a sensuality tied to the earth. He aims to challenge
assumptions of African provinciality by reinterpreting these influences with a cosmopolitan twist.
The collection is a poetic tribute to the interplay of sun, sand, and elegance, with Anderson envisioning a
bold return to joy and power in fashion post-election.

Sun-Drenched Colors and Natural Textures
For his 16th season at New York Fashion Week, Frederick Anderson is still finding a fresh take on his vision and inspiring us all with his “My Africa” collection. From the opulently dressed guests (we’re loving this silver sheer piece -slay girl!) to the fashion on the runway this show was one we will remember!
