Harlem’s Fashion Row is the most prestigious platform for multicultural fashion designers. HFR has become the epicenter of fashion for the multicultural audience. Founded in 2007 by Brandice Daniel, a coach for multicultural fashion designers, writer, speaker, and entrepreneur, Harlem’s Fashion Row began as a project of passion, aiming to fill the void for multicultural fashion designers and high profile professionals in the industry.

Creator Brandice Daniel’s reason for starting HFR, was to bring the same exposure of NYFW to designers of color. She is pushing diversity in the fashion industry which gives a platform for designers who may not have the same opportunities to have a show in one of the prestigious tents during NYFW. These designers have the opportunity now to showcase their designs at HFR to celebrities, buyers, and fashion editor.

HFR is not just limited to events showcasing designers in NYC. HFR promotes fashion for people of color worldwide. Recently HFR held a fashion event in Memphis, Tennessee. The Memphis Fashion Event featured beauty and fashion industry icons like Mikki Taylor, Misa Hylton, Julie Wilson and Wouri Vice. These events help people interested in the industry the chance to receive first hand knowledge from veterans in the business. The panelist share important information with advice and their experiences within the industry.

The Memphis Event wasn’t just limited to the panel discussion, there was also a huge fashion show with awesome Memphis designers. The fashion show showcased designs from Tiena Gwin, Rochelle Griffin, Dee Blayde, Joe Garrett, and Project Runway star Korto Momolu.
Not only has HFR catapulted the careers of many designers since its start 10 years ago, the brand has expanded to even make these ready to wear items off the runway available for purchase. The Harlem Fashion Row Website now features designers pieces for customers to view and buy.

Harlem Fashion Row has also added Podcasts to the platform. The HFR podcasts offer the ability for clients and buyers to get acquainted with these talented designers. This offers an inside look to the designers history and inspiration for their designs.
We just love how HFR creates a platform for these designers. This opportunity is needed for designers of color who may not have access to the larger shows to expand their brand. We can’t wait to see what Harlem Fashion Row as in store next year. Are you excited as we are for Harlem Fashion Row 2018?

Every year, celebrities go all out and get creative with their costumes for Halloween. This year, the EGL Fashion Team decided to highlight our favorite celebrity costumes for the spooky holiday. Check them out below.
When we talk about celebrities and costumes we must always mention the queen of the costumes, Heidi Klum. Year after year, she brings her A game and this year was certainly no different.

Heidi “Thrilled” us as Micheal Jackson from his iconic Thriller video and we just love how dedication and commitment it must’ve took to pull this look off!

If we had to choose the best costumes for this year, we would have to give the award to Usher for Best Male Costume and Kelly Rowland for Best Female Costume. But we can’t deny, the celebrity Halloween looks for 2017 were for the books! We can’t wait until next year. Which costume was your favorite?

Lala Anthony’s newest venture is a dope collection recently launched at Lord +Taylor. The 38-year old tv-personality, mother, business woman, producer, actress, and now designer decided to create this collection featuring denim for women of all sizes. The star always felt while shopping for denim that something needed to be added to make her feel like she had the perfect pair of jeans. Most of us denim lovers tend to say this when we are shopping for these staples in our closet.

Lala can recall even cutting the bottom of her jeans off before the trend became popular. Alterations like this made to her denim pants inspired her to make her own collection. Not only is her collection for women of all sizes, but they are comfortable and stylish as well. The Power star’s latest collection is not just limited to denim; it also features cute jackets and tops that the star would pair with the denim to complete her look.
It is safe to say that while shopping this collection, we can get looks from the tv personality’s closet she actually wears herself. To achieve a Lala inspired look, we won’t even have to break the bank. The collection features pieces that are under $150. Check out some of our favorite pieces below.
EGL Fashion is obsessed with these high rise frayed jeans with zipper detailing. These beauties are currently on sale too. How great is that?
High-Rise Frayed Jeans
Price:$66 — Sizes:0-24
Who doesn’t love a great mid-rise pant? Add a distressed design to the denim and a cute ankle cuff and we have this cute piece.
Price:$66 — Sizes:0-14
One of Lala’s favorite jackets to wear with her denim is a bomber jacket. We just love this cropped bomber with patch detailing. This jacket will look great with high waist jeans.
Price:$90 — Sizes:S-L
Lala’s collection definitely has unique pieces and we just love it! This Three-Way Ribbed Bomber Jacket is a must have! The bomber jacket can be worn three different ways. The versatility of this bomber makes this such a great buy! Who wouldn’t love making three looks out of one jacket?
