Inside Villa Lewaro, Madam C J Walker s Historic Estate & Site Of The Epic Pyer Moss Couture Show

Inside Villa Lewaro, Madam C.J. Walker s Historic Estate & Site Of The Epic Pyer Moss Couture Show by Stephanie Maida · July 13, 2021 From its very foundation, Villa Lewaro, a sprawling estate located in Irvington, New York, has stood as a monument to Black excellence. The home once famously belonged to Madam C.J. Walker, the beauty and haircare entrepreneur, and America s first self-made female millionaire. It was commissioned by her daughter, legendary socialite A Lelia Walker, and was designed by Vertner Woodson Tandy, the first Black registered architect in New York. Built between 1916 and 1918, the Italianate-style mansion spans 20,000 square feet and boasts 34 luxuriously-decorated (and mostly preserved) rooms. A Lelia Walker, once dubbed the Joy Goddess of Harlem was known to throw lavish fetes with the luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance at the property, hosting the likes of Zora Neale Hurston, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Langston Hughes.

Bibhu Mohapatra Fall 2021 Ready-to-Wear Collection

“I liked the challenge,” said Bibhu Mohapatra of designing a collection during a pandemic. The need to find creative solutions, the designer said, brought to mind the days when he was dreaming up his first collection back during the recession of 2008 in a shoebox apartment. Following that thread, he carefully studied his archive, pulling and refining classics. Resources might have been limited, but Mohapatra made no compromises on quality, inside or out. “We are doing fewer pieces, but everything is made to last forever,” he stressed. The designer and his collection felt freer and lighter for fall. Thankfully the main drag on the line-up had little impact on the actual garments. This was an overcomplicated and perhaps unnecessary backstory about two relationships: between the poet Langston Hughes and arts patron A’Lelia Walker during the Harlem Renaissance; and that of the painter Gustav Klimt and Emilie Flöge in late 1900s Vienna. (The latter inspired a caftan with beaut
