iconic designs in the show
Macy’s has partnered with couture and ready-to-wear designer B
Michael to produce the first b Michael America runway fashion show
at this year’s NAACP Image Awards luncheon, which honors the
nominees of the 47th annual NAACP Image Awards, on Thursday, Feb.
4, 2016, at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, CA. Actress and singer
Brandy Norwood, known for her work on “Moesha,” “I Still Know What
You Did Last Summer,” and “Cinderella,” will walk in the fashion
show. B Michael previously dressed the star for her media junkets
during her run in “Chicago” on Broadway and also collaborated with
her costume designer on her new series for BET, “Zoe Ever
After.”
Following a panel discussion, the fashion show will feature
social dresses from the b Michael America Red collection, available
exclusively at select Macy’s stores and on macys.com, and close
with several pieces from his couture collection.
“I’m proud to be a part of the NAACP Image Awards luncheon and
celebrate the exemplary works by the undeniably talented nominees
who work so hard to promote diversity in the arts,” said B Michael.
“It’s an honor to dress Brandy again for the fashion show, and I’m
grateful to have the continued support of Macy’s, which has been
such a valuable partner.”
Known for designing dresses for icons such as Whitney Houston,
Lena Horne, Cicely Tyson, and Valerie Simpson, B Michael launched
his ready-to-wear collection b Michael America Red at Macy’s in
2012 to reach a broader audience. The easy-to-wear collection,
which ranges in price between $225 for dresses to $650 for gowns,
offers a contemporary spin on the designer’s signature haute
couture style, resulting in a simple yet sophisticated look.
“Macy’s is extremely excited to be a part of the NAACP Image
Awards luncheon with B Michael, who is such an inspiring talent and
leader in the fashion community,” said Louis Mastrogiacomo, Macy’s
executive vice president and general merchandise manager of
ready-to-wear. “We look forward to our continued partnership and
the success of b Michael America Red at Macy’s.”
