Starting with 1920
The Harlem Renaissance not only launched an explosion of African-American art, literature and politics, but it also enabled the community to develop a collective identity through fashion for the first time
The battle for equal rights led to a worldwide fashion revolution in women’s wear during the 1920s. Harlem women embraced the rebellious higher hemlines, which fell just below the knees, as well as the colorful Art Deco patterns, the lower-cut necklines and the padded-shoulder suits. Cut from free-flowing fabrics that allowed women to dance, dresses were usually loose and dropped at the waist.
we recall Black fashion icons who have certainly made an impact on the fashion industry, we encourage you to take a moment and appreciate the hard work of these strong, powerful icons, many of whom were about more than just looks.
