Ahead of the event, POPSUGAR talked to Harlem's Fashion Row founderand the emerging runway designers about their mission, which is really just to foster a mutually beneficial relationship where collection reveals and often even retailer collaborations are possible. Brandice explained that she looks for high-potential designers with clear brand positioning, e-commerce capabilities, and, first and foremost, character.
Brandice cites African American fashion designer Lois K. Alexander-Lane, founder of the Black Fashion Museum, as inspiration for her HFR project, which was launched the year Lois passed away, 2007. She feels as though she is continuing in the work Lois started, with the support her mentor and first advisor, Audrey Smaltz, an HFR board member."She was the first person to believe in me and what I was doing from an industry perspective," Brandice said of Smaltz.
Ahead, see what the talented Black designers who presented at this season's NYFW bring to the fashion industry and learn how Brandice's Harlem's Fashion Row has championed them.
