From collaborating with Lebron James on his first-ever women’s sneaker to presenting a Lion King-inspired collection in Bloomingdales, Fe Noel’s Designer of the Year title is much deserved.
During ESSENCE Fashion House NYC, the Brooklyn-born brand sent tropical looks down the runway. Puffer sleeves, stripes, and printed satin pieces flowed one-by-one as models glowed in their Fe Noel looks.
