Raison D’Etre
Black History Month, New York Fashion Week , Valentine’s day and Social Media Week New York - all collided the week of February 12-17th 20012 , so for Black Dress 2012 I chose to look at Black Fashion Designers and their web presence, rather that read the post mortem on the “lack’ of a Black presence… they usually simply count models anyway. I started with a Google search but had to augment with my social network, since most designers could not be “found”, connecting to and rediscovering my design colleagues. I took a screen shot of each site checked their social media presence. Not easy since there is not a valid list per say that simply points to these designers.
Designers also do not link to or connect to each other. Many had only flash websites, not accessible by mobile. It was a lot of work .
As for individual e-commerce capabilities… check each website. or select however I like boutique shopping in a cluster one location with access to all my faves. Add you name to this VIP list
Next week I will post the galleries from those whose images I have from my collection on www.brooklynFashionGallery.com over the next few months will be augmented with a review of the designer's and label the deadline April May 2012… designers submit your info here…
WHY… as a design student I searched the shelves of FIT, library and spent a LOT of time in the costume lab… hoping to find black designers. I am stopped all the time by peoplewho recognize me in Brooklyn and asked for specific colleagues. My emails same thing. BEFORE They SHOP you they need to FIND you.
Black Dress 2012 is looking at- the present state of Black Fashion! During February to commemorate Black history Month, NYFW and Social Media Week New York Y I Take to the web to find Black fashion and designers… Deciding how to proceed was difficult I opted to see them as today’s consumers would by “googling” them and visiting their web presence… if one existed… A screen shot is presented with links to their site… Over the course of the year I hope to interview as many as these designers as possible.. Please feel free to contact me and recommend or suggest at http://www.bkfff.com/bd2012/
Video curation when ready will be hosted here

WILLIAMSBURG FASHION WEEKEND S/S 2012-Friday, February 17th and Saturday, February 18th
The tenth season of Williamsburg Fashion Weekend is here, and we are continuing our commitment to giving a platform to designers who push the envelope with their designs, as well as their business practices. Following reviews in many online and print media including The Huffington Post, Refinery29, Village Voice and Time Out New York, past designers have gone on to develop world class companies in fashion, entertainment and production.
The designers, who come from all over the world, uncorrupted by corporate agendas, are creating clothes inspired by their own inner vision and passion, which makes their clothes, works of art. However, the clothes and the shows are extremely different from each other, since the designers' approaches to fashion differ. Art and fashion intermingle to create unexpected outcomes, from ready-to-wear to pure conceptual art pieces. Designers who show their collections at Williamsburg Fashion Weekend are encouraged to use their artistic visions and veer away from the classic runway format. Various artistic mediums are used to punctuate the viewer's experience. Responsible business practices are as important to Williamsburg Fashion Weekend's designers as the design itself. Past participants have used recycling, upcycling, sustainable and fair trade fabrics as well as local manufacturing to ensure that their clothes and businesses contribute to the well-being of global and local communities.
PRESS: From 7:30pm to 9pm February 17th and 18th, members of the press are invited to the venue to meet the designers and preview their collections.
