In many ways, the fashion world is still elitist but there’s something to be said for the runway shows and events that cater to niches that are largely ignored.

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?
As a matter of fact, I do. Non-Black designers do not use Black women, for the most part, in their advertising, so I respond by not buying their clothes, handbags, shoes, etc.

I attended a smaller show of emerging designers at NYFW this past February. Out of 6 designers, 4 of them were Black! Do some research and keep an open mind.
