Often unappreciated, but never unnoticed - welcome to the show that celebrates Black contributions to fashion. 

Hosted by fashion educator Kimberly Jenkins, this five-part series explores moments in history when Black Americans demanded respect, challenged norms, built community and imagined the future - all through what they wore. 

From The Fashion and Race Database, Tommy Hilfiger’s People’s Place Program and Pineapple Street Studios.

In this bonus episode, our host Kimberly Jenkins has reflective, candid conversations with designers Clarence Ruth, Megan Renee and Johnathan Hayden. They discuss their inspirations, trajectories and cultural influences; their challenges, hopes and triumphs. Each designer competed in the inaugural New Legacy Challenge, a design competition developed through a partnership between Tommy Hilfiger’s People’s Place Program and Harlem’s Fashion Row. The New Legacy Challenge 2.0 will bring in three new BIPOC designers to reinterpret Tommy Hilfiger&#039;s iconic prep styles in their design aesthetic. This year, the program is back and it is back in a bigger and better way!<br />
