This fall, you won’t want to miss one of the premiere annual events of black excellence in metro Atlanta, the Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic. The event is now in its sixth year and promises to be a blast.
As the culminating event of the Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic, guests dressed in their best derby attire will enjoy complimentary gourmet food options by Chef X and Chef Phil, along with signature cocktails, party tents, live music, cigar lounges, two polo games, equestrian exhibitions, and a fashion experience.
What Is The Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic?
The Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic is a three-day experiential event combining the best of fashion, food, polo and music presented by the Miguel Wilson Collection.
“When I created this event six years ago, I knew that it was different and it would become something special,” Miguel Wilson, founder of the Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic, says in a written statement. “What I did not know was the amount of people that would support us, not just in and around Atlanta but across the country. Every year, we have so many people who fly into Atlanta just for this event and due to the support we were able to expand from just a one-day event to an entire weekend.”
