Blk Ivy Opening Celebration

10 February, 2023

Description

We invite you to be among the first to see & celebrate Blk Ivy, a one of a kind thrift/vintage concept shop from Kimberly McGlonn, founder of Grant Blvd. Dedicated to the fashion of the Civil Rights Movement and spanning the tumultuous moment between 1954 (Brown v. Board of Education) and 1972 (the presidential campaign of Shirley Chisholm), Blk Ivy aspires to pay homage to the style of the revolutionary figures of the era such as James Baldwin, Dr. King and Angela Davis. By showcasing curated artifacts from the era like rare vintage vinyl and first edition books, it hopes to inspire a revival of the spirit of their resistance centered in a revival of their fashion aesthetic. It is a call to action for the protection of our human rights & our civil rights, thoughtfully curated with our closets & homes in mind.
