The principle of Sankofa Suggest that isit is not until we revisit the pastthat we can move towards the future. This past January marked the 45th anniversary of the "Naturally You" series. “Naturally ’62: The Original African
Coiffure and Fashion Extravaganza Designed to Restore Our Racial Pride
and Standards ”, with the first show held at Harlem’s Purple Manor on
January 28, 1962. The goal of the show was to prove to the world that
“Black Is Beautiful.” That first show starred Abbey Lincoln
as guest singer and commentator for the show, and famed jazz drummer,
Max Roach as Abbey’s accompanist on piano, As we celebrate Black history month and prepare for the Jazz of Fashion 2007. We will be hosting photographer, advocate and historian Kwame Braithwaite, as ell as other who have been part of The last half Century of African Style and the Black Fashion Industry!
