NAT GEO PRESENTS: FIT FOR A QUEEN IMMERSIVE FASHION SHOW, Showcasing emerging, female designers in celebration of the premiere of docu-series QUEENS.

National Geographic made a dazzling debut at New York Fashion Week (NYFW) in front of industry influencers, celebrities, tastemakers, and media. Their immersive fashion show, “Nat Geo Presents: ‘Fit for a Queen,’” celebrated the premiere of their upcoming docuseries "QUEENS"12. This captivating event took place at Moonlight Studios in downtown New York, and it was produced by a female-led team—naturally!

The three-act presentation featured animal-inspired designs by talented creators, including:

Theophilio
JéBlanc
Studio 189
Bed on Water

These visionary designers crafted custom looks that pay homage to the powerful female matriarchs highlighted in the docuseries. And let’s not forget the dazzling accessories:

Almasika and L’Enchanteur provided exquisite jewelry.
Téjahn Burnett contributed stylish footwear.
Models graced the runway, accompanied by dance performances and holograms of three remarkable “queens”: a lion, an elephant, and a brown bear—each featured in the series. The docuseries, narrated by the iconic Angela Bassett, premieres on March 4 and will surely captivate audiences with its exploration of animal matriarchs.

00:00 I'm the world star of films and executive producer of Nat Geo's upcoming natural history series, Queens.
00:07 And I'm Faith Moussambi, producer and director of Queens.
00:11 Faith, I think I've seen both of us when I say we never in a million years imagined ourselves on stage at New York Fashion Week over the four years we were making the series.
00:27 It is truly surreal, but we're so excited to be here, especially as part of Queens, which premieres March 4th on Nat Geo and is streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
00:40 Thank you. I think it's safe to say that Queens is unlike any other wildlife production ever made.
00:49 For the first time, we flip the male-dominated natural history industry on its head with this series, a gripping, almost drama-like series about females in the natural world.
01:00 Created, produced, directed, filmed, and edited by a female-led crew.
01:07 Including Faith, who if I could brag for a minute, is the first black woman to produce and direct a premium natural history film.
01:19 Thank you. Four years in the making and filmed across 12 different countries, Queens leverages cutting-edge technology to reveal how females in the natural world rise to power.
01:37 Often using cooperation and wisdom as opposed to brute strength to get ahead.
01:44 That sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it Vanessa?
01:48 It sure does. Our guide through the series is none other than the Queen herself, executive producer Angela Bassett.
01:57 Whose powerful narration adds both depth and drama to the storytelling.
02:04 We'd like to give a special thanks to the amazing women we had the privilege of working with to create this one-of-a-kind series.
02:12 If not for their hard work, dedication, and vision, we would not be here tonight.
02:18 And to National Geographic for supporting this vision from the very beginning.
02:23 Including head of content, Telma McDonald, for being a tremendous ally and supporter of the show.
02:30 And Janet Vistering, SVP at National Geographic, for championing and stewarding this project from the very beginning.
02:40 To honor the incredible work this team has done and the barriers we've broken in the making of the series, we wanted to create an event that basically did the same.
02:54 That's why we decided to push the boundaries even more and put on a fierce female-led fashion event.
03:02 Tonight you will experience a spectacular presentation that celebrates the parallels between the Queens of nature and the real-life Queens revolutionizing traditionally male-dominated industries, particularly fashion.
03:17 Everything you're about to witness has been led in some part by some amazing women in fashion, art, music, technology, and more.
03:30 If the animals have taught us anything, it's that to be a Queen, you have to claim your crown.
03:37 We hope that this show inspires you to step into your crown and become the Queen you are meant to be.
03:44 We'd also like to thank our sponsors for the night, McBride Sisters Wine Company, and Kahawa 1893 Coffee.
03:56 And just one note, please no flash photography. You might scare the animals.
04:03 But please do take photos and share them widely and when you do, please hashtag #NatGeoQueens.
04:11 Thank you again for being here and please enjoy Fit for a Queen!
04:18 [Cheers]
04:21 A new hero is rising. Resilient, fierce, and female.
04:47 [Music]
05:14 The strongest females fight for the survival of their families.
05:19 [Music]
05:43 Don't call her Mother Nature for nothing.
05:47 Jesus, biscuits.
05:59 Greetings, my Queen. I am your host for the evening.
06:09 And while I do think you're my fan queen, tonight you can call me Mother Nature!
06:16 [Cheers]
06:19 But just to be clear, darling, Mother Nature came to slay, but the Nat Geo Queen came to pray.
06:28 You are about to experience the essence and power of our Queen and react from the craters of African soil
06:37 to the iciest of coastal regions to the wildest savannas.
06:42 This is just a taste of what to come.
06:46 From the women-led filmmaking crew who produced this epic series to everyone who played a role in making this epic night for us to experience, we thank you.
06:58 So, open your eyes and your mind and get ready to experience this aura of Queen!
