Posted By: Tanisha Grant on September 28, 2018 Philadelphia designer Retania Drain took center stage at Philly's Fashion Week where she showcased her highly anticipated line Ann Luchade. A Cheyney University of Pennsylvania graduate and soon to be alumna of the Philadelphia Fashion Incubator program Retania's super sleek afro futurism aesthetic was featured on Phildelphia's local WTXF FOX morning show. Drain is an emerging talent who is definitely one to watch. Her designs have been recognized by industry giants and the Hollywood elite like costume designer @iamRuthCarter (pictured) of the blockbuster showstopper " Black Panther" when entertainment journalist and red carpet correspondent @TanishaLaVerneGrant wore the @annluchade aesthetic earlier this year at the American Black Film Festival Honors and the 90th Academy Awards both held in Hollywood, Ca.
