Get an inside look at HFRmovement's Style Awards which honored Issa Rae, Sergio Hudson, Robin Givhan and Ade Samuel.
In an industry where success can be contingent on self-promotion, HFR’s annual awards were all about the collective. Thankful recipients acknowledged the people who helped to get them there, whether that be parents, forefathers, employers or industry supporters. More poignant, was the recurring message of aspiring to live a life without labels — or limits — and to clear the path for those who may follow.
Honorees reinforced the degree to which designers, companies, executives, the media and all people can personify that in their actions, rather than their words and intentions. The prospect of opportunity was celebrated as much as the award winners’ achievements. In line with that, HFR & Co., ”the ultimate shopping directory featuring Black and Latinx brands,” will debut this fall, as noted on the evening’s program and confirmed by a HFR spokeswoman.
Having had the privilege of watching all of that hard work, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Givhan said that has been changing “the way that she is able to unspool a narrative, tell a few truths, uplift the powerful and shine a bit of light in overlooked spaces. That has been the joy of my job and I get paid to do what I love. This award is truly a bonus, an embarrassment of blessings. I’m honored and I’m deeply grateful.
