In light of the halt in productions and dramatic declines in sales, Harlem’s Fashion Row (HFR), a New York-based organization that champions designers of color, is stepping up to empower the fashion community during these unprecedented times.
On May 30, HFR will launch a new nonprofit called ICON 360 to support designers impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The nonprofit program seeks to provide grants for designers of color who are pivoting their businesses during the pandemic and need funding to scale.
As a fashion community we have an incredible opportunity to help scale the businesses of designers who are thriving even in the middle of a pandemic.”
Guests will also have an opportunity to view a fashion show with past HFR designers along with upcoming emerging designers.
