Maison Margiela Artisanal Collection 2024

The ritual of dressing is a composition of the self. With the body as our canvas, we build an exterior expressive of the interior: a form of emotion. The Maison Margiela 2024 Artisanal Collection paints a picture of the practices and occurrences that shape the character reflected within our dress. Under Pont Alexandre III, bathed in the light of the first full moon of the year, Creative Director John Galliano captures a moment in time: a walk through the underbelly of Paris, offline.

I Binkina Colette Kanza walked my first Haute Couture show for @maisonmargiela and THE @jgalliano.

It all started as a fitting model for Maison Margiela, and ended up on the runway. I am beyond speechless but also forever grateful to the team!

Thank you to @jesshallettcast for casting me and making my dream come true!

SEPTEMBER 2023

I participated in the Vogue opencasting 2023. I was successfully chosen out of 67,234.00 submissions. I am 1 of 8 winners chosen by Team Vogue.
Which is an amazing opportunity.

Vogue is an iconic trendsetter and very important in the fashion industry. I get to represent women who can see themselves in me, which is amazing and huge!

My message to the world with this experience is to tell everyone that nothing is impossible, better fact, everything is possible. Don’t think about age and time, if something is meant for you then it will happen at the right time.

You have to believe in yourself and your own vision, even if it gets hard at times. Step out of your comfort zone and just do it.
