The brand collaborated with three talented
designers to create capsule collections and take their first steps
into children’s fashion.
Today, children’s fashion brand Janie and Jack and Harlem’s
Fashion Row, a movement to increase diversity in fashion through
creating a platform for multicultural designers, debut three
capsule collections by Kimberly Goldson, Kristian
Lorén and Richfresh. The collaboration, which has been
in the works for several months, shares each designer’s unique take
on kids’ clothing. Harlem's Fashion Row's mission to discover and
showcase rising talent of color aligns seamlessly with Janie and
Jack's long-held belief of inviting every family into its brand.
And, as part of its ongoing commitment to lift up creative people
of color, Janie and Jack donated $25,000 to Harlem's Fashion Row's
nonprofit, ICON360.

“When I first met Brandice Daniel, founder of Harlem’s Fashion
Row, in January, I knew we needed to come together to create
something special,” said Shelly Walsh, SVP and General Manager,
Janie and Jack. “I am thrilled to share this partnership through a
phenomenal collection by three talented multicultural designers.
Together, we hope to inspire the next generation to lift each other
up, celebrate creativity and individuality, and above all treat
everyone with love and respect.”
While the partnership has been in progress for many months, it
comes at a pivotal time in the world and the culture of fashion.
Now more than ever, the fashion industry must come together to make
a change and push for equal representation. And giving designers of
color a platform to showcase their inspiring work and stories is a
significant part of progressing forward. Janie and Jack is
committed to teaching kids about love, kindness, unity and
anti-racism. With shared core values, Janie and Jack is proud to
collaborate with Harlem’s Fashion Row to bring this collection into
the homes of families everywhere.
“As a parent, I wanted to support designers of color by
purchasing children's wear for my daughter,” said Brandice Daniel,
CEO and Founder of Harlem’s Fashion Row. “I realized that the
children's market had very little racial diversity. Partnering 3
Black designers with Janie and Jack is a historic and courageous
move led by Shelly Walsh. This partnership has inspired the
designers and will hopefully provoke an entire industry to think
differently about what it could look like to include more BIPOC
designers in their strategy.”
The new capsule collections shine a light on the three talented
designers and allow them to share their unique twists on children’s
fashion with Janie and Jack’s modern-classic aesthetic while
incorporating their own distinct styles into the line.
- Kimberly Goldson: This Project Runway alum’s capsule
concept was inspired by her nieces. Their tight knit relationship
always had her longing for a children’s line, and with Janie and
Jack she was able to bring this to life. Her distinctive sweatshirt
detailing and iconic suits in bold colors with statement florals
shine within this collection.
- Kristian Lorén: This Philadelphia-born designer took
inspiration from her background in dance and its movement, progress
and evolution to design looks incorporating tiered ruffles and an
assortment of tulle in sparkle, polka-dot and soft pink tones. She
built her brand on the use of feminine fabrics in an unexpected and
playful way, with the belief that style begins at an early age. She
hopes to help instill individuality into the next generation.
- Richfresh: Fresh was inspired by the challenge of
designing for children, something he never thought he would do.
This celebrity favorite drew inspiration from one of his past NYFW
shows and applied his signature tailoring and detail to reimagine
Janie and Jack’s classic suiting with outerwear and track suits in
vibrant pops of color with the added playfulness of bold chevron
stripes, a detail he has built his brand on.
The Janie and Jack x Harlem’s Fashion Row Collection offers an
array of styles, from bold head-to-toe floral prints, to
three-piece suits with matching outerwear, and tiered ruffle pants
with room to dance. These styles pair back to glossy
fashion-forward belt-bags, coordinating printed tights, ballet
flats and sneakers, all with the classic Janie and Jack
silhouettes. Priced $19-$139, the collection is available for
purchase now on www.janieandjack.com/harlems-fashion-row and in
select Janie and Jack stores nationwide. Watch Janie and Jack and
