The Next Wave of Black Designers – House of Arches Fashion Show

McDonald's Change of Fashion program has been supporting and mentoring five, rising Black designers. Now its House of Arches Fashion Show is putting them front and center with collections from VICTIM15, Nia Thomas, Freddie Estelle, Muehleder, and HEARTHROB. Livestream it here, Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at 7:00 PM ET. Many trends in American fashion happen first in Black culture. Black Culture feeds fashion. But only about 7.3% of American designers are Black...which isn’t enough. That’s part of what inspired McDonald’s Change of Fashion program. They wanted to celebrate and support the next generation of brilliant, Black designers––so the culture-makers can eat too. Throughout the past year, they’ve put the designers in the spotlight and connected them with industry insiders for mentorship. During Black History Month, there’s no better time to celebrate and uplift this next generation of creatives. That’s why events like this are crucial to inspiring real change. Tonight, the runway belongs to them.
