The Black In Fashion Council presented a New York Fashion Week showroom in support of emerging Black Designers. Lindsay Peoples Wagner is a media executive and Sandrine Charles is a public relations specialist who have created a new foundation for inclusivity in the fashion industry.
The work of the BIFC helps to address systemic racism while at the same time providing opportunity and resources for Black designers to succeed.
The Black in Fashion Council is excited to continue to help elevate emerging designers to get the visibility and access that they need and deserve, and we are always looking for new opportunities to further their excellence.
For this year’s fashion week presentation, the showroom highlighted pieces from 8 new designers, including Ajovang, Harbison, Izayla, Jessica Rich, Madame Adassa, Muehleder, Sammy B and Vavvo.
New York-based architect-turned-designer Charles Harbison designed Harbison, a sustainable luxury clothing line. His collection uses organic fabrics and natural dyes to explore themes of gender, modernity and sustainable living.
A selection of Italian leather accessories were created in New York City by Vavvoune. The visionary behind the brand is on a mission to make a new tier of luxury.
Muehlder is a study in sleek ready-to-wear pieces, all constructed with neoprene. The innovative label, which produces everything from daywear to athleisure, has redefined the use of scuba diving material and gained a celebrity following.
