Harlem’s Fashion Row Hosts ‘Fashion and Finance’ Panel During NYFW

HFR_Fashion_FinanceHarlem’s Fashion Row hosted a series of events during New York Fashion week, including its “Fashion and Finance” luncheon, sponsored by Prudential, on Friday. While the fashion conversation often sticks with the aesthetics of design, the money talk is equally as important—if not more.

With the mission to pair fashion designers of color with revenue opportunities, HFR founder Brandice Henderson created Friday afternoon’s discussion. The “Fashion and Finance” panel speakers included award-winning designer Byron Lars, who’s wears are sold at Anthropology and Bergdorf Goodman; Teri Agins, journalist and author of Hijacking the Runway: How Celebrities Are Stealing the Spotlight from Fashion Designers; Project Runway finalist Kimberly Goldson; media veteran Harriet Cole; and ShirleyAnn M. Robertson, CLTC, of Prudential.
