Event Recap-The Women of HBCU's Fashion Show

3/18/2014

This past weekend, The Mocha Millennium Women partnered with Project 1855 to present "The Women of HBCU's Fashion Show, A Cream & Canary Affair." The show featured women (who were graduates of historically black colleges & universities) modeling fashion apparel from popular Houston boutiques and local designers. The event was held at the Houston Museum of African American Culture. Proceeds from the event will benefit students attending Texas Southern University (TSU) an Prarie View A& M with scholarship funding.

The fashion show celebrated everyday women with diverse professions. They modeled the latest trends from Melodrama Boutique, Dame Elegante Boutique, Ankara Fashions, Kingdom Citizens Boutique, and BB Sexy Couture. Attendees not only enjoyed a great fashion show, but indulged in hors d'oeuvres, an open bar, and a party which followed.

Mocha Millennium Women is an organization dedicated to empowering women through fitness, philanthropy, and fashion. Project 1855 is a non-profit organization which forms partnerships with other businesses to work toward eliminating/decreasing unemployment rates between African Americans and other ethnicities. The two organizations joined forces in support of influencing and improving corporate/small business rapports within the African American community.
