fashion

From the rivers of Africa, to the street corners of Harlem, to the bayou's of New Orleans, fashion has always created an illustrative and necessary identity amongst the Black community. It is the subset of American culture rooted in African traditions that has permeated amongst the culture for centuries.

Today, style shaped by the African Diaspora is ubiquitous in fashion for people of all colors, races and creeds which is why we highlight the innovators, celebrate the legends, and educate the future.
