The Black Renaissance Yearly Culture Fashion Show, highlights emerging black designers, brands, and models/influencers while showcasing African culture to the European Diaspora. This fusion event combines an Afro-cultural runway with a vibrant pop-up, connecting audiences directly to budding black-owned brands.
