The close-out of Fashion Week in Brooklyn was epic with the SIP NYC Inc. All Black Fashion, Wine & Arts Elegant Affair. The afternoon was filled with excitement as the attendees experienced black excellence. During Fashion Week, it’s never been that all the designers are black; the hosted location is at a black-owned facility, and the food and drinks are by black-owned businesses. However, The Sip NYC Inc did just that, an all-black experience.

The designers outdid themselves, excited to be back doing the runway showcasing their new lines. Three fashion segments included suits, dresses, bathing suits, and nightwear, all new to the fashion scene. The founders of The Sip NYC Joy and James Fraser wanted this to be special. Their collaboration and sponsorship with organizations such as Beyond Styles By Miles and businesses such as Ingenious Gin & Beautiful Amore Skin Care showed how black excellence is in full effect.
