For many years, fashion always had a particular face and body to it. Despite being a form of
self-expression, many people felt they were not being seen in campaigns, on runways, or even
in stores. Luckily, representation in the fashion industry has gradually improved due to the
power of social media and the growing voices of consumers. It is not anywhere near where it
needs to be, but we continue to see improvement as time goes on. That’s why it’s important to
put your money behind your words and support underrepresented women and men at their
helm. These Black-owned fashion brands deserve your attention all year round, but turn to them
for your spring shopping this year.
