6 Black And African American Women Fashion Designers Who Make Great Clothes

Let’s face it, the high fashion world isn’t exactly known for its inclusivity. Designers are often white men or women. Other races even find it hard to score a place on the runway as a model, let alone getting behind the scenes and back to the drawing board, where all the creative work begins.

But there are some black and African American women bucking this trend. We’re so glad to see black women just like us showing the world that it can be done. We can climb all the way to the top, in every industry. If we can do it in film, why not fashion?

To celebrate our achievements as black women, we’ve picked 6 of the best black female fashion designers.
