On November 10, 2024, the 12th Annual Young Atlanta Fashion Exhibition brought Georgia Tech’s Russ Chandler Stadium to life with a vibrant celebration of Black creativity and resilience. This year’s theme, “BlackBalled,” paid homage to the history of the Negro Baseball League while showcasing the fresh perspectives and talents of Atlanta’s youth and rising creatives. Founded in 2012 by Charles “HOLLYANDROO” Pabai (Executive Producer), Young Atlanta has been dedicated to uplifting the next generation, providing a platform for young talent in art, design, music, and fashion.
The night started with a moving rendition of “Lift Every Voice,” followed by an energetic performance from a local high school band and dancers from Jonesboro High School. Months of training led to the big night, as models worked tirelessly with professional coaches, including Antwain Donté, Chisom, and Carolyna, to perfect their runway walk and presence. The runway showcased collections from 18 designers, including standout pieces from the following: HOLLYANDROO, Karim Richie, Saber Brand, NBD Fashion, Teho, and House of Imah. Elaine Rodriguez (Project Manager, Model), serving as the night’s MC, captivated the crowd as she guided the audience through the event theme, broadcasted on the stadium’s big screen.
