Black Women Owned Fashion Brands

As the fashion world expands and evolves, it does feel so exciting to see black women at the forefront doing their thing and inspiring both the older and younger generation of women.

Over a decade ago, I was pumped about starting my fashion line. I had big dreams (and still do) of being a global fashion house but there were not many black women in those scenes. I was told it was near impossible as a black woman to have such big dreams. It was very upsetting and discouraging.

We still have a long way to go as far as diversity is concerned but it feels to good to know there are black women in the fashion world being recognised for their efforts and inspiring other women like myself to keep doing the work. When you wear an item made by these women it’s not just about the price tags but about  the journey, the story, the message that these brands and the collections they make impart to you.

If you’re someone who loves to shop for stylish items by black owned fashion brands, here you go!
