Special Update: We are excited to share that Bethann Hardison will join the Mahogany at 50: Black Fashion Film Series this weekend, August 17th for a screening and discussion of her film Invisible Beauty! Hardison has modeled for Gucci, Oscar de la Renta, and Issey Miyake, and has graced the covers of Essence, GQ, and other esteemed publications. Her participation underscores Mahogany at 50’s commitment to honoring Black creative visionaries.

Invisible Beauty:
An inspiring documentary chronicling the extraordinary life and career of Bethann Hardison—pioneering Black model, influential modeling agent, and fearless advocate for diversity and inclusion in fashion.

The film captures Hardison’s journey from breaking barriers on the runway in the 1970s to decades of activism championing underrepresented talent and challenging systemic bias in the fashion industry.

Both a deeply personal portrait and a celebration of her lasting influence, Invisible Beauty invites audiences to reflect on the intersections of art, culture, and activism.

Special Feature: Screening followed by a conversation with Bethann Hardison herself.
