The show marks the ten year anniversary of the original “Black Dress” exhibit, created in 2014 by Pratt Institute professor Adrienne Jones.
At Pratt Manhattan Gallery on 14th street, a celebration of Black designers and creatives rises to honor the work of generations. “Black Dress II: Homage” explores the history of American fashion, through the lens of the Black artists whose work has pioneered and defined the industry, often without recognition. The show marks the ten year anniversary of the original “Black Dress” exhibit, created in 2014 by Adrienne Jones, a tenured professor at the Pratt Institute.
Goff, who describes her collecting as a hobby turned obsession, was put in touch with Jones and Etienne-Robinson as they were searching for a Patrick Kelly dress to include. “You've got to either give me a year or a color or a print or something, because I have a lot,” Goff remembers telling them. News often travels by word-of-mouth in the network of Black fashion collectors and curators.
