On October 15, fashion was rocking in Harlem!  The Harlem’s Fashion Row Collections S/S 2010 was created to showcase emerging designers in the Harlem community.  This special night featured the work of upcoming designers Dinna Soliman, Lialia and Jose Duran.  For a touch of experience, the first line to walk down the runway was designed by Project Runway’s and Harlem’s native Epperson.

The smart and talented HFR Advisory Board, made an excellent choice in selecting the night’s honoree: Fashion Icon Stephen Burrows.  SB (Soul Brother as he was introduced by friend Audrey Smaltz) a Fashion Institute of Technology graduate began his career in 1969.
