About Harlem's Fashion Row (HFR)


Founded in 2007, Harlem’s Fashion Row (HFR) is the premier platform dedicated to discovering, showcasing, and supporting designers of color. With a proven track record of driving culture-shifting collaborations with brands like Nike, Gap, Nordstrom, and Tommy Hilfiger, HFR bridges the gap between multicultural designers and the global fashion industry.

Now, we're building on that foundation—evolving into something even more expansive to support the long-term growth and visibility of diverse-owned brands.

HFR is not just shaping fashion—it’s building what comes next.
