SoHarlem’s mission is to “create equitable opportunities in Harlem through cultural industries workforce development.” The social enterprise connects people living in Harlem with opportunities designed to help them achieve economic self-sufficiency.
With the assistance and guidance of a cadre of designers, artisans, and other creatives, SoHarlem has been part of the transformation of the once underutilized Manhattanville Factory District into a vibrant successful community, which has employed local residents since its founding in 2011.
During that time, SoHarlem launched more than twenty successful micro-businesses comprising everything from custom-made couture garments to fashion accessories and face masks.
The three honored fashion industry creatives include; designer, teacher and self-described ‘fashion engineer’ Julian Asion, who will receive the Hidden Gem award, Harlem’s gift to American fashion. Dapper Dan will receive the Cultural Fusion award. Consultant, model, and jewelry designer, JoAni Johnson, will receive the Harlem Fashion Model award.
SoHarlem’s Founder & CEO, Janet Rodriguez said, “We are so excited to celebrate our 11th anniversary by honoring three superstars of fashion while simultaneously showing the works of more than a dozen of our creative entrepreneurs whose designs will be showcased and sold at The Malt House from September through December.”
