Harlem’s Fashion Row is a New York-based organization in the retail apparel and fashion sector that focuses on arts and entertainment. It operates a platform of national events and programs to connect audiences and brand partners with emerging designers of color, enabling exposure and business opportunities in an industry that can be difficult to access. Over the years, HFR has helped launch numerous designers and shaped conversations around artistic and cultural trends. Its work targets aspiring designers of color, fashion brands seeking collaboration, and media audiences connected to fashion and entertainment. In addition to events, the organization runs initiatives such as HFR&Co, a directory of Black- and Latinx-owned brands, and supports scholarship programs like ICON360 with Nordstrom. A notable recent development is an exclusive 2024 collaboration with Home Shopping Network that features two HFR designers on the platform.
