Yahoo Lifestyle Madonna’s Son David Banda Makes New York Fashion Week Runway Debut Modeling at Off-White’s Spring 2025 Show
Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon has walked the runway for labels including Versace, Marine Serre and Luis De Javier — now the pop star’s son, David Banda, has made his fashion show debut, appearing in Off-White’s spring 2025 presentation at New York Fashion Week on Sunday.
Banda, a musician, strutted down the catwalk in a plaid collared vest, black pleated trousers, statement earrings, glovelets and flip-flops featuring bottle cap embellishments. Several stars sat in the front row, including singer Camila Cabello, Olympic gymnast Suni Lee and actress Issa Rae.

Per WWD’s Emily Mercer, creative director Ib Kamara melded “African craft and futurism with American sportswear.” The spring 2025 show was the label’s first in the Big Apple.
“I think America is a foundation of Off-White; I think it’s good to come home, show love to the city and the city to show love back. To celebrate the city and be part of an evolving community of a global traveler and global people, which is very New York,” Kamara said of his spring collection.
Kamara took the helm at Off-White following the passing of the brand’s late creative director, Virgil Abloh, in 2021.
The second eldest son of Madonna and director Guy Ritchie, Banda was born in Malawi, where he was adopted by the couple at the age of one. Banda recently performed alongside his mother during her worldwide “Celebration” tour, bringing his guitar skills to the stage.
In 2022, Madonna spoke to Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show” about Banda’s penchant for fashion. That year, he was famously photographed alongside his mother, wearing a replica of an Adidas dress she sported in 1993.
“He can put on any outfit and look swag as you know what,” Madonna said. “It’s really irritating. He wears my clothes and looks better in them.”
