On February 12, 2026, during Black History Month, I attended an intimate and culturally resonant Fashion Show Panel Reception hosted by Novi Brown at The George Hotel. Part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton, The George at Columbia has officially opened at 126th Street and Morningside — a stunning new property in the heart of Harlem where Novi proudly serves as Hotel Ambassador.
The evening honored the influence, resilience, and future of Black women in fashion — bringing together leaders across modeling, media, retail, hospitality, and brand-building for a timely conversation centered on legacy, ownership, and evolution.
