Black Fashion Museum in New York Showcases Hidden Designers
At a brownstone on 16th Street the Black Fashion Museum displays garments gathered by Lois Alexander since 1979. The four rooms highlight African inspired wear, hip hop gear, and an Anne Lowe room noting Lowe's work for Jackie Kennedy and socialites, with Lowe’s gowns largely absent and Alexander seeking more archival pieces.
