Your Favorite Beauties Were Front Row At Willy Chavarria’s

Getty Images / Gilbert Flores Just months ahead of the 2024 Presidential Election (and days before the primary Harris-Trump debate), one in all Latest York’s buzziest designers Willy Chavarria gave us a seat on the table for his SS25 show. Held in the town’s financial district—across from the Trump constructing and NYSE—his latest collection titled “América” referenced each traditional codes and the wonder in diverse humanity. From squared Grace Jones hair shapes and barbed wire braids to a masculine skin finish with leather eyeliner, the large 65-look show unified minority communities. “It looks like the variety we would really like to see sitting on the table here in America,” hairstylist Joey George tells ESSENCE.

The alternative of color was intentional. “We wanted a...

Harlem Fashion Row’s 2024 Show Paid Homage To Retro

Courtesy of Noemie Marguerite One thing we are able to count on Harlem Fashion Row to do is honor Black excellence, beauty, and style. NYFW kicked off the SS25 season with the seventeenth annual fashion show and awards ceremony, founded by Brandice Daniel. The evening honored fashion’s biggest names: Naomi Campbell, Teyana Taylor, Samira Nasr, and Shiona Turini. Not only that, it was a time to highlight latest collections from rising Black designers like Aaron Potts, Nicole Benefield, and LaTouché. To accompany the looks—which ranged from tailored suits to daring maxi skirts— were, in fact, aspirational makeup and hair moments, too. A. Potts Ricky Wilson, celebrity makeup artist, tells ESSENCE that he loves that “individuals are bringing awareness to taking good care of...
