/
Modern day shopping nowadays is filled with fast fashion. You know, the brands flooding your timelines worn by IG models and influencers with stores that have taken the online world by storm; Brands like Fashion Nova, Pretty Little Thing, ASOS. We can go on and on about them. Most all altering similar styles and apparel. Some even profit off mimicked fashion & style from Black culture. Sad, but true.
How many brands do you actually see that ACTUALLY cater to Black women or men? Yea, sure a lot of brands are unisex too, but aren’t you the least bit curious to know more Black Owned clothing/fashion brands? I mean where would fashion be without Black culture influence?

Fashion & Clothing Brands
I love shopping and finding stylish pieces. It’s almost like a love language for me. So, I make it a duty to learn more about brands, fashion and style. Support. Where would some of your favorite designers and brands be without support? Which leads me to emphasize supporting brands. Black Owned Brands, big and small are IMPORTANT. With Black communities constantly supporting notable brands, it’s also important for us to keep supporting our own brands as well. This goes for our local, family and top heavy clothing brands. I wear tons of labels and brands all by my style taste. I like to support as most as I can. There are so many Black brands too many to list, but below I have listed a few Black Owned clothing/fashion brands on a local, family, well known level; Multiple styles. Women & Men’s. Some brands I’ve worn and some have caught my eye. Feel free to COMMENT BELOW MORE BLACK OWNED BRANDS.
