As Juneteenth, the celebration of the end of slavery in the United States, approaches, the DFW Metroplex is buzzing with events.
One of the most anticipated is the third annual Juneteenth Fashion Show.
The event is set to take place from 7 PM on Saturday, June 15, at the Lexus Box Garden at Legacy Hall in Plano and is presented and produced by Think Three Media.
“I am thankful to Legacy West and Legacy Hall for partnering with us again,” said Leah Frazier, CEO of Think Three Media.
“This is an annual show that everyone looks forward to. I am honored to continually bring this level of Black Excellence to our community, inspiring the crowd to live more beautifully, boldly, and joyfully.”
This year’s event celebrates Black legends in fashion, the arts, entertainment, and culture, promising another sold-out show.
Featuring 12 North Texas designers and brands, the Juneteenth Fashion Show will be a vibrant and soulful celebration of creativity.
In addition to the fashion show, the event will honor contributions to Black haircare and beauty with a special showcase by the award-winning haircare wellness brand NU Standard.

The event will be co-hosted by Venny Etienne, Project Runway Season 17 contestant and award-winning fashion designer for Levenity, and media personality Lady Jade.

The Juneteenth Fashion Show is more than just a celebration of fashion; it is a tribute to the rich cultural heritage and contributions of the Black community.
“The Juneteenth Fashion Show [in 2023] was absolutely amazing and incredible,” said photographer Carlos Vincent in an Instagram Reel recap.
“The designers were bonkers. The stylists, the whole production was crazy, crazy, crazy. This show made the city, the state, and the culture look good.”
