NYC Fashion Week invaded ATL’s Neiman Marcus at last night’s NBAF Fine Art +Fashion event.
This annual fashion extravaganza is one of NBAF’s (National Black Arts Festival) signature fundraisers, bringing together more than 400 of Atlanta’s fashion, business and social notables.
Fine Art + Fashion, celebrating its sixth year, provides major support for NBAF’s visual arts programs, related public programs and marketing support of major exhibitions.
A ‘who’s who’ of invited Atlantans from reality star Marlo Hampton to former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin put their best foot forward to celebrate the arts of the African Diaspora and get a sneak peek at fashions by Guest of Honor Zac Posen. Actress, Jasmine Guy served as the evening’s Mistress of Ceremonies.
