A fashion show by Afua Banful for the transition from summer to fall as well as from death to life.

In a time where everything is so morbid, when do we remember to live and to keep striving on? To keep conquering whatever is telling us not to? Remembering to live is a mantra we should live our life by and guide ourselves to understand. Our life is precious and important, you being on earth today means something. Let’s bring that to life.

about the artist:

I’m Afua Banful — but you might know me as the creative force behind Fina's Creations. I’m a fashion designer based right here in Portland, and I have a serious passion for turning the unexpected into something unforgettable.

From discarded fabrics to old tents, I breathe new life into materials others overlook — transforming them into bold, one-of-a-kind fashion statements. My designs are more than just clothes; they’re my way of expressing who I truly am and shaking up the fashion world while I'm at it.

My mission? To revolutionize the industry, one upcycled masterpiece at a time. I’m here to prove that style doesn’t have to come at the planet’s expense — and that yes, you can turn “nothing” into something absolutely fabulous.

Let’s end fast fashion — creatively, consciously, and fashionably!
