5001 FLAVORS Celebrates 30 Years of Fashion, Family, And Flavors At The Museum Of The City Of New York

July 20, 2022

This spring the family behind 5001 FLAVORS and Harlem Haberdashery are celebrating two amazing anniversaries – 30 Years of 5001 FLAVORS and 10 Years of Harlem Haberdashery.

In honor of the celebratory year, the family has upcoming collaborative partnerships with The Museum at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) and Museum of the City of New York.

“The Museum at FIT (MFIT) is thrilled by the recent donation from 5001 FLAVORS, which represents Guy and Sharene Wood’s significant influence on fashion, hip hop style, and popular culture. These pieces will be prominently featured in the upcoming exhibition Fresh, Fly, and Fabulous: FiFty Years of Hip Hop Style (opening January 2023), and will be a part of MFIT’s permanent Hip Hop Style Archive. Preserving these fashion objects ensures that scholars, researchers, and future MFIT exhibition audiences can access 5001 FLAVORS’s one-of-a-kind creations, which have helped shape and tell the story of hip hop style and American culture,” says Elizabeth Way, Associate Curator, The Museum at FIT.

Pivoting and growing both their fashion and retail businesses through the pandemic and ever-changing New York City makes 2022 a sweet year to celebrate the two anniversaries.

“We are honored to celebrate these milestone anniversaries, proud to have expanded into our various lifestyles brands and excited to see what’s next for 5001 FLAVORS, Harlem Haberdashery and the #FirstFamilyOfFashion,” says Sharene Wood, President & CEO of 5001 FLAVORS and Harlem Haberdashery.

Sharene and her husband Guy Wood, Sr. along with partners Kells Barnett, Louis Johnson Jr., Ashlee Muhammad and Guy Wood, Jr. will commemorate these special anniversaries the following in-person and virtual activations and events (with more to be announced):
