Are You Into Fashion Week? 5 Reasons We Are Looking Forward To It
1. Fashion, Hair and Makeup
Art of any form can be beautiful and awe-inspiring, and fashion is no exception. Some of the nation’s top designers from Oscar de la Renta to Marc Jacobs to Christian Siriano (above) show innovative and breathtaking pieces during New York Fashion Week. If you prefer to see clothes that are more wearable and suitable for everyday, artisans like Tracy Reese and Suno show cool, spirited pieces that could inspire your Spring wardrobe. The same is true for beauty. From the kooky (chain nails) to the cool (orange lips), runway trends can entertain and even inform your look for the coming season.

i watch the shows when they are posted on various youtube channels.
Fashion Week is not into me as a Black woman, so I’m not into Fashion Week. If Fashion Week ever becomes more inclusive and hires a decent amount of Black models and includes Black designers then I might reconsider. I might.
just wondering, do you only buy clothes from black designers?
As a matter of fact, I do. Non-Black designers do not use Black women, for the most part, in their advertising, so I respond by not buying their clothes, handbags, shoes, etc.
Val, does that also apply to makeup? I’m sure that kohl liner around your eyes wasn’t made my black a black woman.
I attended a smaller show of emerging designers at NYFW this past February. Out of 6 designers, 4 of them were Black! Do some research and keep an open mind.
