This Is Not a Fashion Show

Actively Black · New York Fashion Week 2025

The title is the description. This WAS NOT A FASHION SHOW.

Not because there wasn’t fashion involved, but because the objective wasn’t the clothes. It was who was in them and what they meant to the world and to Black history. This was a display honoring civil rights icons and all their sacrifices for a better tomorrow.
