The Black Designers Shaping My Wardrobe Year-Round

There are countless Black designers who have contributed to the fashion industry across a wide spectrum. However, while their talent is certainly spectacular, many brands suffer from lack of exposure and funding. So, it has always been important for me to seek out and support creatives of color. I’m proud that my capsule wardrobe is composed of styles from brilliant magic makers like Christopher John Rogers, Anifa Mvuemba, and the late Virgil Abloh.

Ahead, I’ve shared several outfits that incorporate pieces from the artists mentioned above. Black History Month may be coming to a close, but my commitment to these designers extends far beyond February.

This outfit never fails to gain compliments, and for that reason, I own two rainbow dresses from Christopher John Rogers. This look is perfect for professional settings because it is modest, but still manages to make a gorgeous statement. People will always remember the girl in a technicolor dress, trust me.
