Now in its 15th year, the group kicked off New York Fashion Week with a very special anniversary show — and a very big new partnership:
Harlem's Fashion Row's Brandice Daniel with Icon of the Year award winner Janet Jackson., Clarence Ruth of Cotte D'Armes and Nicole Benefield of Nicole Benefield Portfolio featuring their latest collections.
"After you've been through it once, you know what you're in for, so the only thing that's up to you is how ambitious you want to be," Hayden tells Fashionista of how his design process differed from last season. Hayden's namesake luxury ready-to-wear label takes a technological approach to creating clothing that's functional, sustainable, and in a word, beautiful. For this year's collection, he thought bigger : He designed his own textiles, drawing inspiration from his annual trip to visit family in Albuquerque, where he goes to the city's International Balloon Fiesta.
"I get up at 3:00 AM, I go to the dark fields at the foothills of the mountains, and you start seeing all the hot air balloons fill with air. It's really magical because it's still dark outside and thousands of balloons are released as the sun is rising," he says. "The fields are enveloped in color and print and pattern and all these yards of fabric. That's where it all started for this collection, this idea of ascending from the deepest depths of the ocean.
"This time, I felt very close to the cause and the subject matter we're highlighting, which is Black and brown talent and creating more opportunities for Black and brown talent in the industry," he says.
