Black fashion is a genre within itself. From our hair to how we style our clothes, black fashion ensures we stay true to ourselves and our history. At the CFDA Fashion Awards this past Monday, black designers, stylists, and icons were celebrated not only for their impact on the fashion community but also for their testament to staying authentic.

“I am a healer. I am an artist.” Presented by Andre 3000, Erykah Badu was presented with the 2024 Fashion Icon Award. Reminiscing about her past, Badu told personal stories and thanked the loved ones who had brought her to this moment.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Racheal Scott won American Womenswear Designer of the Year. She thanked her colleagues who helped her along the way, her mother, and the women in Jamaica who inspired her designs. As she thanked her team for their endless support, she also accounts for a moment of kindness that stayed with her. “I keep going back to this idea of community. The night before our show in September we did not have the shoes for a show [and] a designer in the room who I’ve never met got wind of this and offered to let me borrow shoes from their archive. The kindness of this gesture stuck with me as this is a very special community.”
PEERLESS
Moments like these remind us why representation in the fashion world is essential. From the awards to the fashion show, these moments not only had our jaws on the floor but reminded us that black fashion is versatile and unique. From the layers to the patterns, black fashion continues to evolve throughout the decades but still has a nostalgic feel. Black fashion will continue to make a statement in the fashion world, and this is just the beginning of the black renaissance.
