As trends come and go, one thing I know for sure is that Harlem's Fashion Row will always put me on to the designers that should be on my radar. This fall, the collective partnered with Nordstrom on a capsule collection featuring three fab designers: Megan Renee, Harbison, and House of Aama. I had the chance to see each of their collections debut during New York Fashion Week, and lemme tell you, I'm ready to add every single piece to my cart.
Shop Nordstrom x Harlem's Fashion Row
No matter if you're into bold prints or minimalist style, these designers give you a lil' bit of everything through their creative lens. Harbison's two-piece tie-neck top and wide leg pant set is a maximalist's dream with its red, white, and green floral print you can mix and match. Oh, and Megan Renee's accessories were such a standout. If you love a hat, her Wool Panama wide-brimmed version will take your look to the next level.
House of Aama's collection serves all the fall work outfits I want to rock this season, starting with the Uptown Cardigan (I mean, do you see the asymmetrical hem?!). Everything across the Nordstrom x Harlem's Fashion Row collab starts at a cool $45 for an approachable luxury price point.
Harlem's Fashion Row was founded back in 2007 by CEO Brandice Daniel. The mission behind her agency and this capsule collection are one in the same: "Partnering with Nordstrom is not just an opportunity to showcase the remarkable versatility and creativity of designers like Megan Renee, Harbison, and House of Aama—it's a celebration of Black consumers' cultural and economic power," Daniel says.
"At Harlem's Fashion Row, we are committed to creating fashion experiences that speak to and empower a community that has long influenced the fashion landscape," she adds. "We’re thrilled to bring this unique experience to Nordstrom’s customers across the country, offering them the chance to engage with and support these incredible designers."
Without further ado, scroll on to find all of our fave picks from each designer's collection, plus more insight about their visions. This probably goes without saying, but as stunning as these limited-edition styles are, stock is going fast. Shop these ready-to-wear pieces for any occasion you've got planned this fall. You're welcome in advance! <3
Harbison Collection
Rib Wool & Cashmere Sweater Vest
Charles Harbison is the founder of his self-titled Harbison brand, which is an homage to his mother, who he describes as having an elegant energy and utilitarian style. To reflect her timeless vibe, he incorporates color, texture, and patterns that evoke joy throughout his collections. This capsule is anchored by transitional pieces, from romantic tops with poppy prints to trench coats that'll take you through the season.
Megan Renee Collection
Described as "bold femininity," you'll find pieces like asymmetrical and exaggerated shapes within Megan Renee's ~gorg~ capsule. Here's what caught my eye: Silky button-ups, puff-sleeve dresses, statement earrings, and hats!!!
House of Aama Collection
House of Aama's exclusive drop takes inspiration from African Diaspora Dandy Culture, from jewelry to clothes with etching type motifs typically found in sculpture design. This capsule collection features the likes of checks and pinstripes in refreshing colors on office-ready staple pieces.
