00:00Mm, yummy, yummy, yummy, make that bummy heat it.
00:02Make them pretty girls hop that shitty.
00:04Whiskey till I'm pretty.
00:05Little on my kitty.
00:08Hello, hello, hello, everyone.
00:11Welcome to Essence Fest.
00:14I am Kalana Barfield-Brown.
00:18And I am Janae Naylor.
00:20I am the current style curator for the Future Collective.
00:23Yes.
00:25Thank you there.
00:27But before we go any further,
00:29who remembers the very first Target Future Collective
00:32in collaboration with Kalana?
00:36It was a moment.
00:37It was a moment.
00:38You had to be there.
00:39If you never heard of the Future Collective,
00:41it is a clothing line.
00:42And Target sold exclusively at Target.
00:45And it champions diversity and style.
00:49Now, Kalana, when you launched your first collaboration,
00:52you really paved the way for black women like me.
00:54And you set the tone for all the collections to come after you.
00:57Aw, thank you so much.
00:58Thank you so much, Janae.
01:00Honestly, partnering with Target has been such an incredible journey for me.
01:05It has allowed me to express my creativity in ways that I could have only dreamed of.
01:10And I remember when I found out that I was going to be the first style curator for Future Collective,
01:16I just remember being so excited that I would be able to take my experience in fashion
01:21and create timeless looks for women who look like me.
01:24Yes.
01:25Yeah, we love to see it.
01:26Well, I have to tell you, you killed it with your collection, Janae.
01:32Everyone, please give it up for Janae and her Future Collective collection that is currently in Target stores right now.
01:40Well, I see all the girlies at Essence Fest wearing your collection.
01:44You killed it.
01:45We're so, so proud of you.
01:47And I have to say that it is my honor to give the Future Collective baton to pass it to you.
01:53And I am honored to pass the baton to the new generation of the Future Collective family.
01:59Let's give it up for them.
02:02Woo!
02:05Okay, guys.
02:06So, Future Collective is all about innovation, community, and creativity for the culture.
02:12What I love, love, love about this brand is that it celebrates fresh, diverse voices in fashion.
02:18The new Future Collective is here, and I'm excited to announce that it launches in stores this fall.
02:26Ladies, we are so excited to welcome you into the Future Collective family and to see how your visions continue to elevate, inspire, and inspire our beautiful style community.
02:37And we invite everyone to meet us and walk the Target runway at the Target booth tomorrow at the Convention Center.
02:43We'll all be there, and you don't want to miss it.
02:46You don't want to miss it, so pull up on us.
02:48Thank you, everyone, and enjoy the night.
02:51Bye!
02:52Bye!
02:52Bye!
