What is the blck solstice?

A group of people gathered in a circle with a photographer at the center, inside a warehouse or studio space with clothing racks and a blue tarp in the background.

The BLCK Solstice was founded in 2022 as a platform to showcase some of Chicago’s most talented designers. What began as a fashion show has since evolved into a cultural movement—celebrating art, fashion, and music while uplifting the community. More than just an event, BLCK Solstice creates a one-of-a-kind experience that blends creativity, culture, and connection in ways you’ll never forget. At its core, it is about empowering artists and creatives and providing a platform for underrepresented voices to shine.
