i watch the shows when they are posted on various youtube channels.
Fashion Week is not into me as a Black woman, so I’m not into Fashion Week. If Fashion Week ever becomes more inclusive and hires a decent amount of Black models and includes Black designers then I might reconsider. I might.
just wondering, do you only buy clothes from black designers?
