Flashbulbs popped and phones were raised high on September 6 at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City the moment Janet Jackson stepped into the room. The Grammy-winning superstar was in town to receive Harlem Fashion Row’s Icon of the Year Award. “I truly apologize for being so late, but I literally just flew in from London,” she told the crowd, who responded loudly that there was no problem with her tardiness. Everyone was clearly happy to simply be in her presence.Hours before, HFR hosted its annual runway show and Style Awards ceremony at the General Grant National Memorial in Harlem.
As such, Virgil Abloh, who passed away last November, was very much on people’s minds. The late designer’s spirit was cause for recognition, not only by LVMH, which sponsored the evening and is the owner of Louis Vuitton, but for the award winners as well. Janet Jackson, notably, wore Off-White, taking the stage at Lincoln Center wearing a taupe, tulle ballskirt paired with a t-shirt and black blazer.
After giving shout outs to her stylist Jason Rembert and Hudson, who “designed one of my favorite Emmy dresses ever,” Rae concluded with a message that felt poignant, especially in the scope of HFR’s legacy. “I love being the first,” she said, “but as long as I’m working, I vow to make sure I won’t be the last.”
