FIT’s Black Fashion Designers exhibit is a celebration of fashion’s unsung heroes
When asked to call the names of black designers, most can only name a few. For years, they have gone underrepresented, underreported, and rarely are they credited with the impact they have made on culture, from music to street culture, politics to race relations.
On Dec. 6, Museum at Fashion Institute of Technology, or FIT, will open its exhibit Black Fashion Designers, in an effort to celebrate the many contributions that black designers have lent to American history.
