Thurgood Marshall College Fund: 4th Annual Front Row Fashion Show

PRESS RELEASE - October 13, 2009 - Thurgood Marshall Annual Fashion Show

Thank you for attending the Front Row Launch Party this past Monday at Moët Hennessy USA’s corporate headquarters. The event is a prelude to an electrifying night showcasing “Breakthrough Culturally Diverse Designers” from the African American and Hispanic Community. The Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) will present its 4th Annual Front Row Fashion Show on Saturday, October 24, 2009, at the Roseland Ballroom, NYC sponsored by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC and Moët & Chandon.


With more than 2000 attendees in 2008, a sell out crowd, this year’s show will highlight 12 outstanding emerging and established designers as well pay tribute to trailblazers in the Fashion Industry with the 2009 Thurgood Marshall Fashion Icon Award. The Fashion Icon Award is one of the highest awards presented annually by the organization to individuals who embody the leadership, commitment and legacy of the late Justice Marshall by advancing and influencing style and fashion within the African American community. This year’s award recipients are: Naomi Campbell, International Supermodel, Sam Fine, Celebrity Make-up Artist, Andre Walker, Celebrity Hairstylist and Dr. Joyce Brown, President of Fashion Institute Technology. We are also awarding posthumously the 2009 Avant-Garde Award to Michael Jackson which will be accepted by members of the Jackson family.

This spectacular show is hosted by Sherri Shepherd, Co-Host of the View and legendary DJ Clark Kent will spin for the After Party. Not to mention, Pre and Post VIP receptions are sponsored by Moët & Chandon. Tickets are on sale now, so pass this on to your friends, family and colleagues.

Please join us as the proceeds from this evening will give the gift of Education to deserving students attending public Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
