The HFR Editor’s Luncheon

On February 4, 2013 HFR hosted an editor’s luncheon at MOMA’s Modern Restaurant presented by Smartwater.  The luncheon was attended by editors from ESSENCE, NY Times, Ebony, Huffington Post, NYC TV, and more. It was a conversation that crossed generations and the learning was that we must find a new way to provide fashion opportunities for the next generation. After the conversation and the second course, the editors were treated to an introduction to four of the HFR designers that presented at the February show. They each gave a preview of their collections on beautiful models that walked the room in a 1920s salon fashion.
