Harlem Globetrotters To Walk The Runway For First Time Ever To Unveil New Uniforms at Fashion Week in New York

PHOENIX, Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Basketball's greatest innovators are now taking the fashion world by storm. For the first time in history, the world famous Harlem Globetrotters will team up with television star and fashion designer Angela Simmons to unveil a commemorative 90^th anniversary fashion line at the annual KIA STYLE360 showcase during New York Fashion Week this September.

Hitting the runway on Sept. 15 at 8 p.m., the line will include a robust fashion forward presentation inspired by the iconic basketball team, in addition to Simmons' take on the classic Globetrotters uniform – in honor of the team's 90^th anniversary tour – which will be modeled that night by three Globetrotters star players.

"Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved the Harlem Globetrotters – especially their winning track record," said Simmons. "My goal for this collection was to reimagine the look of the legendary Globetrotters uniforms by infusing elements of the team's rich 90-year history with New York City vibes and basketball-inspired swagger." 

The Harlem Globetrotters and Angela Simmons collection is part of KIA STYLE360's all-star New York Fashion Week lineup of fashion designers, including the debut runway show for the Adam Levine Collection and Serena Williams Signature collection by HSN fashion show.
