Overview

  • 'Togetherness' made its U.S. debut at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on May 3, 2025, featuring performances alongside Rashid Johnson's exhibition 'A Poem for Deep Thinkers.'
  • The event showcased Afro-Atlantic and global influences with artists like The Cavemen, Amaarae, Navy Blue, and Fireboy DML performing in the iconic rotunda.
  • Unlike traditional fashion showcases, the event was public and ticketed, with all tickets selling out quickly, emphasizing accessibility and community engagement.
  • The New York edition follows the concept's Paris debut in 2024 and serves as a prelude to Wales Bonner's first Met Gala appearance as both a guest and designer.
  • Grace Wales Bonner confirmed plans to bring the 'Togetherness' series to additional international cities, further expanding her brand's interdisciplinary and inclusive ethos.
