The Culture Is Couture

Black Fashion. Black Beauty. Our Legacy. Our Influence.

OCTOBER 2025 • RICHMOND, VIRGINIA

The Culture is Couture brings together fashion, identity, and heritage to honor the undeniable impact of Black culture on global style in an immersive, multi-day event format.

The Culture is Couture was inspired by the need to showcase Black fashion and beauty through our lens—not watered down, not edited, not filtered.

We’re influenced by the past but focused on the future. This event pays tribute to the legacy of Black style, the beauty standards we set for ourselves, and the cultural influence we’ve had on the fashion world for generations.

Hosted in Richmond, Virginia, a city rich with Black history and creative energy, Culture is Couture honors our ancestors, uplifts our community, and celebrates the way we express who we are—boldly and unapologetically.

This event is in partnership with Richmond Fashion Week (RVAFW).
