In light of the current mood of the country, I wanted to shine a light on some great Black Owned Fashion Brands that I have found to have truly amazing pieces!
I have to admit, that as a self-proclaimed Fashion Influencer, I should have taken notice of these designers before such a major situation occurred, but excited for my new found awareness of them!
Some of the pieces may seem a little pricey but when you invest your dollars in quality pieces it’s always worth it!
