Update: Now that I have seen this exhibit (today, in fact), I stand ABSOLUTELY corrected. It was absolutely AMAZING! I will grow this post, and repost with current date when all of my thoughts are gathered.
For the first time, there's an exhibit at FIT that tickled an uncomfortable spot for me... I'm hesitating to visit the Black Fashion Designers exhibit. I don't want to not like it.
But really, what is a black designer doing differently than anyone else with a head, heart and hands? When I looked at comments online, I saw the same reaction.. "What?" So I will go very soon... and I will try to keep an open mind.
