A newly launched partnership with IMG will provide funding for three designers from historically black colleges and universities to produce a fashion show at NYFW this September. The $150,000 grant will be shared across the three awardees.
Applicants will be asked to submit their designs to a committee of industry experts including Warren, as well as Ali Bird, senior vice president of global talent strategy and incubation at talent agency WME Fashion; Anthony Demetrius, director of programming and designer partnerships forFashion Events & Properties, and Kahlana Barfield Brown, fashion and beauty editor and influencer.
“I am committed to uplift and champion HBCU students in the realm of fashion. The voices and talents of Black designers remain vastly underrepresented in the fashion industry and I aspire to be a catalyst of change,” she told WWD. “I’m looking for someone with a really strong point of view of what they’re trying to say in the world of fashion, with a commitment to precision and detail.”
