Tracy Reese, former FashionSpeak keynote speaker and Detroit native, is featured in a new exhibition titled "Black Fashion Designers," at The Museum of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.

Running through May 16, the exhibition will offer a look into how much of an impact designers of color have had on the fashion industry through the decades. Other designers include Jeffrey Banks, Laura Smalls, Stephen Burrows and Eric Gaskins, who trained under couturier Hubert de Givenchy.

The exhibition explores the experiences of several generations of fashion designers of African descent from the1950s to the present, and it will be organized by categories and themes, such as evening wear, menswear, street style, experimental fashion and African influences.
