The Black in Fashion Council celebrated Black History Month and New York Fashion Week with a glamorous dinner, bringing together fashion's top Black creators, tastemakers, and visionaries. The event, co-hosted by Sandrine Charles and Lindsay Peoples, featured a special Discovery Showroom showcasing emerging Black and African diaspora designers, along with a lively celebration filled with music, dancing, and custom Hennessy cocktails.
There are few better starts to Black History Month—and New York Fashion Week, of course—than the Black in Fashion Council's dinner. Co-hosts Sandrine Charles and Lindsay Peoples bring together many of fashion's brightest Black tastemakers, creators, and visionaries to welcome a busy NYFW.
Cocktails started at 7 PM, where custom drinks by Hennessy , along with a collection of wines and spirit-free options, were sipped before the space transitioned into dinner service once the clock struck 8 PM. Designers Rachel Scott, Edvin Thompson, Anifa Mvuemba, and Sergio Hudson made their way to their tables for delectable starters. A mixed green salad and French onion soup came before a serving of cacio e pepe gnocchi, then a branzino and french fries entree.
