BAM FASHION SHOW

"Basquiat Meets Bergdorf Goodman"

February 18, 2023

Buffalo State's Fashion and Textile Technology Department wants to make the global fashion industry a more diverse and inclusive place.

The Black Fashion Scholarship's mission is to foster equity and inclusion within the fashion industry by supporting promising students of Black, African-American, or African descent who are committed to creating a more equitable society.

There is so much work to do to combat systemic racism in the fashion world, but donors like you open doors for talented Black students to succeed. Let’s come together to invest in their future and help them reach their full potential.

Thank you to Buffalo Art Movement for hosting "Basquiat Meets Bergdorf Goodman," supporting our students and raising over $8,000 for our Black Fashion Scholarship. Thank you to our sponsors Renew Bath & Body and Lago 210 and to everyone that donated to the scholarship. Your support is helping us create equity for the next generation of Black fashion students! Join us April 22nd at our 16th annual RUNWAY fashion show and scholarship award ceremony as we celebrate the achievements in our department.
