Last week, Drexel’s graduating fashion designers showcased their exciting clothing lines at the Bellevue Hotel in Center City in front of an international group of industry peers.
I am proud to share that my daughter, Jazmine G. Brown, was among them, displaying her unique clothing line, “JGB.”
Jazmine was the first African American designer to display her clothing line and the second designer in the show’s lineup.
Her theme in the program was “Provoke, Perceive, Consume.” She graduates from Drexel with a cumulative average of 3.89.
Jazmine was one of three African American designers out of the class of 32 in the program that are graduating from Drexel with a degree in Fashion from Drexel’s Antoinette Westphal School of Art & Design on June 16 at The Mann Music Center.
She also won the prestigious Evelyn Bender Netsky Memorial Award for Social and Cultural Responsibility. Jazmine will be pursuing her master’s degree abroad this fall.
