Last year, we gathered for the 18th Annual Fashion Show & Style Awards, and created a night that still lives with us. ✨

We honored Jason Bolden (), Nikki Ogunnaike (), Christiane Pendarvis (), Ruth E. Carter (), and Usher Raymond IV ()—five leaders whose influence continues to shape industries and expand what is possible.

On the runway, designers LaTouché (), Atelier Ndigo (), and Daveed Baptiste () transformed their Haitian heritage into powerful expressions of high fashion, reminding us that our stories, roots, and perspectives belong at the center of the global fashion conversation.

The village showed up. The room was filled with legacy in motion. And together, we continued building a table of our own.

Now, we are preparing to do it all again for the 2026 Fashion Show & Style Awards.

Football, fashion, and heritage meet in OuiGap.

Gap’s () latest collaboration with Ouigi Theodore, founder of The Brooklyn Circus () , honors Haiti’s historic 1974 football legacy through a limited-edition collection rooted in sport, diaspora, and cultural pride.

For Harlem’s Fashion Row, this moment is especially meaningful. We’ve had the honor of partnering with Gap and celebrating the work of The Brooklyn Circus over the years, two forces that continue to show what’s possible when fashion, storytelling, and community come together.

Marked by the recurring “74” motif, the collection transforms classic football-inspired pieces into wearable storytelling, from jerseys and jackets to knits and accessories.

Village, you know what to do! 🖤🔥 !

Several weeks later, we are still reflecting on the powerful close of HFR’s 8th Annual Designer Retreat at Nike HQ.

Nike has been part of this experience year after year, and their partnership continues to mean so much to HFR and our designers. As the first brand to say yes to the Designer Retreat, Nike helped make this space possible from the beginning.

Day 3 brought our designers into a space centered on creativity, product development, collaboration, and the reminder that fresh voices, fresh perspectives, and fresh creativity are exactly what this industry needs.

From hosting us at Nike HQ, to creating space for the industry stop, to the Nike Designer Combine and $5,000 prize, Nike continues to show what meaningful investment in the next generation of designers can look like.

Thank you to our friends at Nike for walking alongside our designers, believing in this work, and helping us close the retreat with purpose, inspiration, and possibility.

Olandria Carthen’s first fashion collection with Brandon Blackwood marks a full-circle moment between a breakout style star and a Black designer who supported her early in her rise. 👜

Launching May 27, the collection includes the O-Zip Mini Trunk, O-Top Handle Bag, O-Vanity Case, and O-Lipstick Case Bag Charm in “Bama Barbie” pink, hot pink, and jet black.

The collaboration also highlights a larger fashion conversation: how early designer support, celebrity style influence, and community demand can come together in a product drop people are already watching closely. ✨

For years, we have been asking one central question: How do we scale our support for Black designers?

The answer has many layers: access, retail partnerships, funding, mentorship, visibility, and industry accountability. But the truth is, support also scales one decision at a time.

It starts with us.

It starts in our own closets.

With the designers we choose to wear.

The brands we choose to buy from.

The names we choose to follow, share, recommend, and introduce to our communities.

That is how The Closet Challenge came to be.

We wanted to create a simple, measurable way for people to turn support into action by committing 10% of their closet to Black designers.

Because Black consumers are projected to hold $2.1 trillion in buying power in 2026, yet Black designers and designers of color still represent only 1–2% of designers in major department stores.

That gap cannot be ignored.

When you join The Closet Challenge, you receive a personalized style guide and discover Black designers to shop, follow, and support, making it easier to be intentional about where your fashion dollars go.

Hundreds have already joined. Now, we want to see that number double.

Because changing the fashion industry does not only happen at scale.

It happens one closet at a time.

Kahlana Barfield Brown () just brought a fashion lens to a functional category 👏

The founder of KBB by Kahlana partnered with Starbucks () to design a limited-edition weighted vest celebrating the launch of Starbucks Coffee & Protein, the brand’s new ready-to-drink beverage made with 22 grams of complete protein.

The vest was priced at $22 as a direct nod to the beverage’s 22 grams of protein and designed with 5 pounds of customizable weights, plus a dedicated pocket made to hold the bottled drink.

What makes this collaboration layered is the way it connects product innovation, wellness culture, and fashion design. Weighted vests have become a major lifestyle trend, but Kahlana brought intention to the category by reimagining it as something people would actually want to wear.

Congratulations, , on a sold-out collaboration with .

Ozwald Boateng () is bringing fashion into the home.

The British-Ghanaian designer, known for redefining bespoke tailoring, has partnered with Savoir (), a luxury British bedmaker known for handcrafted, made-to-order beds.

Their new design, “Authenticity,” reimagines the feeling of a tailored suit as a sculptural bed, complete with handcrafted oak, woven leather, and a custom headboard inspired by traditional Ghanaian Kente cloth.

Built over more than 200 hours by a single artisan, the piece is a reminder that Black design is not limited to the runway. It belongs in fashion, interiors, craftsmanship, and every space where luxury is being defined.

Standing on business 👏

HFR’s 8th Annual Designer Retreat was exactly that.

To the designers, partners, speakers, and teams who made this year unforgettable, thank you. 🖤

The room felt different this year. It was full of vision, honesty, curiosity, and conversations that reminded us why this retreat exists. Over three days, designers showed up ready to learn, connect, ask questions, share experiences, and build alongside one another with intention.

A special thank you to our partners who opened their doors, shared their expertise, and helped create real pathways for our designers.

And to our friends at - thank you for continuing to walk the walk and talk the talk. From hosting us for Day 3, to the industry stop, to the Nike Designer Combine and $5,000 prize, your year-over-year partnership continues to show what meaningful investment in designers of color can look like.

This retreat set the tone for what is possible in the years to come, and we are so grateful to every designer, partner, and supporter who helped make it what it was.
