In partnership with LVMH, the New York-based fashion organisation will host its 15th anniversary fashion show and awards on Sept. 6.

This year, in addition to its annual showcase of Black-owned brands, Harlem’s Fashion Row has created an award in honour of Virgil Abloh. His wife, Shannon Abloh, will present the accolade at the show.

According to the organisation, the award “celebrates like-minded individuals who embody Virgil’s spirit, brilliance, and vision, through invaluable contributions to culture, community, and innovation,” it said in an announcement Monday.

The recipients include actress Issa Rae, womenswear designer Sergio Hudson, fashion writer Robin Givhan, stylist Ade Samuel and Janet Jackson, who will be awarded the “Icon of the Year” award.
