Here's where all the good collections are hiding. 🙌
Somewhere between the rise of TikTok influencers and the fall of print magazines, the magic of modern-day Fashion Week got a little bit lost. It became less about discovering new designers, appreciating meticulous handiwork and gathering inspiration, and more about playing dress up with your friends in hopes of a street style moment outside Spring Studios. But if there’s any group still doing Fashion Week right, my money’s on the Black in Fashion Council every time.
“It means a lot, especially being a Black woman,” shares Claude Kameni, a showroom first-timer who is currently rebranding Lavie by CK to be an eponymous brand. “We don’t really get looked at. We have to work ten times harder than anybody, so it’s really an amazing experience for them to even have me here.” She credits her PR team at Cabine Creative for helping her connect with the Black in Fashion Council.
It’s Monet’s first time participating in the showroom, and as a footwear designer, she couldn’t be more pleased with the setup. “There’s not really a lot of media attention given to the accessory brands during Fashion Week, so to be in a showroom, this really is the most ideal way to show my collection,” she says.
