Redefining the way black culture is viewed...
We challenge guests to redefine what this term means to you?
To us Black is... Formal, Sophisticated, Prestigious, Professional, Powerful, and Elegant, black is the foundation of fashion, the baseline for sound, and the void needed to produce change.
This event has been created to celebrate the absence of color in an atmosphere of evolution.
