For this NYFW, Harlem’s Fashion Row got things started with homage. Partnering with Amazon Music they put together and event honoring trail blazers April Walker, Dapper Dan and Misa Hylton. The evening was filled with black creatives celebrating one another with special nods to those that have paved the way.
I took over Travel Noire’s Instagram account (@travelnoire) to highlight my trip to Ghana. In the story I covered Ghana’s Year of Return.
To kick off men’s fashion week in Paris, Alexander-Julian invited an intimate group to a dinner hosted in collaboration with H&M. The event took place at fashion’s favorite restaurant Derrière, which is located on a hidden street of Paris’ third district. The ambiance was romantic with grand floral arrangements, the guests were gathered around simple French cuisine, and the conversation was eclectic. It was an opportunity to cross the finest black creatives from New York, Los Angeles, Lagos, Paris, and Dakar who create the fashion for tomorrow, and a welcome moment to pause before the race of the Paris Fashion Week begins.
