As the fashion industry commits to combating systemic racism, there is a growing list of Black-founded fashion brands that continue to impress with their innovative designs. This article showcases 27 of these brands to celebrate Black History Month.
Twenty-one per cent of Black-owned businesses believed that they would not survive the Covid-19 pandemic. Only five per cent of white-owned businesses said the same. As Black Lives Matter protests flooded cities across the world after the unjust death of 46-year-old African-American George Floyd, the fashion industry committed to playing its part in combating systemic racism .
Brother Vellies In the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests sparked by the death of George Floyd, Brother Vellies founder Aurora James published a manifesto urging major retailers to commit to buying 15 per cent of their products from Black-owned businesses. An essential petition, 15percentpledge.org, which calls on the industry to #buyblack and aims to generate one million signatures, followed. “The fashion industry is my family, it’s my community,” she told British Vogue.
