HSN®, a pioneer in livestream shopping and narrative-driven videos, has unveiled a special partnership with Harlem’s Fashion Row (HFR), enlisting four of the agency’s top designers, each bringing their own unique perspective to the collaboration. The upcoming month will witness the launch of collections from Megan Renee and Undra Celeste, with two additional designers joining the lineup in the fall.

Bridget Love, GMM & VP Fashion, Accessories, Jewelry & Beauty at HSN, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, “Harlem’s Fashion Row has introduced us to exceptional designers with stunning and exclusive collections that we are thrilled to showcase to our audience.” Love highlighted how this collaboration allows HSN to continually present customers with a dynamic array of must-have items that represent diverse perspectives on fashion. She also emphasized HSN’s support for HFR’s mission of inclusivity and empowerment within the fashion industry.

Brandice Daniel, the founder of Harlem’s Fashion Row, passionately affirmed her dedication to amplifying diverse voices in the fashion world through this collaboration with HSN. She noted that this project not only celebrates unique perspectives but also provides a new and crucial platform for designers of color, transcending the boundaries of traditional retail and expanding opportunities for designers of color.

Megan Renee x HFR introduces a 9-piece collection designed for everyday wear, featuring original prints that embody strength, confidence, and unapologetic femininity. Undra Celeste x HFR, on the other hand, presents a 10-piece wardrobe characterized by modern, fun, and bold workwear. The price range for these new collections varies from $49.95 for a T-shirt to $189.95 for a trench coat.

Designer Megan Smith of Megan Renee shared insights into the inspiration behind her collection, stating, “Each piece tells a story through unique prints and vibrant colors, reflecting the identity of a woman who embraces her power and individuality. Creating this collection has been an incredible journey, allowing me to showcase my distinct point of view on fashion.”

Undra Duncan, the designer behind Undra Celeste, described the essence of the collection, saying, “Undra Celeste x HFR embodies the essence of a multicultural woman who wants to show up to work feeling like her authentic self.” Duncan sees this collaboration with HSN as an exciting opportunity to share her vision of the future, where fashion becomes a statement of unyielding self-expression for every woman.

The HFR brands are set to make their on-air debut on February 1st through a live remote broadcast from Harlem, with each designer having a full hour of programming.
