A decade after the groundbreaking Black Dress exhibition, Black Dress II: Homage returns to Pratt Manhattan Gallery, celebrating the creative force of Black designers in fashion. Opening in time for NY Fashion Week and Black History month, the latest iteration expands on the original exhibit's mission, showcasing a diverse range of work that intertwines artistry, history, and cultural identity. The scrapbooks of Clara Branch inspired curator Adrienne Jones, who was a long time mentee. The exhibit is co-curated by Rachelle Etienne-Robinson and features both emerging and established designers whose work redefines narratives in fashion. Keep reading for a look inside...

From intricate couture to streetwear with deep cultural roots, each piece speaks to the ingenuity and resilience of Black designers who have long shaped the industry, often without due recognition. Beyond the garments, Black Dress II: Homage is a tribute—honoring past trailblazers, uplifting today’s visionaries, and inspiring future generations. The white walls encourages visitors to really hone in on the artifacts. Themes such as Black Beauty, Black Tie, Black List, Black Face, Black Star and Black Soil offer a powerful reminder that fashion isn’t just about clothing; it’s a reflection of identity, heritage, and history. The exhibit runs through March 22nd at Pratt Manhattan gallery 144 14th street.
