MÄFO Dress Brunch Miami | Art Basel Edition
During Miami Art Week, sixty women take their seats at one table: mothers and their daughters, corporate leaders, and the entrepreneurs building what comes next.
This brunch is a special collaboration. The MÄFO Dress movement was founded by designer Kibonen Nfi, and her brand KiBONEN has partnered with Mothers to Daughters, a registered 501(c)(3), to help pave the way for 100 women entrepreneurs by 2035.
More than 400 women have gathered in the MÄFO dress across 12 gatherings in 8 cities, from New York Fashion Week and UNGA81 to Cairo. Now the movement is on the road to a Guinness World Records attempt: 5,000 women wearing the MÄFO dress, in what we hope will become the largest gathering of women in the same culturally significant dress.
Miami is our next chapter, and every woman at this table brings us one step closer.
Your experience includes
Your own MÄFO dress by KiBONEN, shipped ahead to local boutique in Miami for pickup before the brunch
A curated brunch
A gift bag from our partners
Roundtable introductions, so every guest leaves knowing the room
A featured conversation with our title partners
$50 of every ticket supports Mothers to Daughters.
Keep the table open
At every MÄFO gathering, we make room for young women from our community who could not otherwise take a seat. Their dresses and places at the table are gifted, and your generosity is what makes that possible.
Mothers to Daughters helps women ages 18 to 39 build economic mobility across Canada and the United States. You can give at checkout or without attending:
Gift a Seat at $450: her dress, brunch and gift bag
Gift a Dress at $300: a MÄFO dress for a young woman in our community
Support Mothers to Daughters at any amount, to sustain mentorship and programming
Please note
Registration closes November 20, so your dress can arrive in Miami on time. Every registration is reviewed to keep the room intentional.
