Founder and visionary Antoine Gregory recognizes that Black fashion's future is shaped by its past — but we can only learn from that past if we preserve it. Thankfully, the New York-based fashion archivist and entrepreneur is taking active steps to document and preserve Black fashion history as the founder of Black Fashion Fair. Gregory created Black Fashion Fair as an e-commerce experimental concept and discovery space curating fashion collections and pieces from Black-owned brands like FUBU, Head of State, No Sesso, and the Jean-Michel Basquiat estate. Black Fashion Fair’s eponymous publication brings together bold imagery and editorial features of both established and emerging artists across photography, design, and visual art. Carrying forward his visual expertise, this year Gregory served as the artistic advisor and archivist of the André Leon Talley: Style is Forever exhibition at the famed Savannah College of Art and Design — which debuted in October. Gregory also served as creative director and writer of the exhibition's corresponding book of the same name. A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, Gregory knows that Black fashion deserves to be both documented and revered, and he’s remaining steadfast in his mission to ensure that this work is done.
