RAISEfashion, the nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing equity in fashion, has a new and innovative format to advance its cause.
On Tuesday, a one-day immersive experience called “RAISEfashion: The Gallery | NYFW Showcase” opens at Posh VIP, located at 40 Crosby Street, and will spotlight 16 emerging Black, Indigenous and people of color designers. Officials told WWD the format “blends storytelling, shopping and industry connection and reimagines the traditional fashion week format, placing community, commerce and culture at its center.”
Collections being shown span luxury, streetwear, jewelry and resort and include Busayo, Harbison, L’Enchanteur, Vontelle with Muse, House of Aama, Gwen Beloti Jewelry, Adviry, Diarra Blu, Bach Mai, Esenshel, Danzy, Nalebe, Onalaja, Cotte D’Armes,
