Portrait by XIA LIU
Undeniably Black
A presentation on the contributions black people have had on the fashion industry! It may be a trend to some but to us it is culture.
This project will envelope a variety of pieces; such as durags, hoop earring, extra long nails, grills, etc., that came into the mainstream but will forever be black essentials. I’ve been inspired by numerous things from black supermodels to the hip hop culture of the 90s to the street styles of young black new yorkers.
