We have to acknowledge that for far too long, fashion hasn’t done enough to amplify Black voices. The industry has fallen short in many ways, and we have a lot of work to do to show up as the antiracist allies we want to be. Fortunately, Instagram is a platform where Black creatives can be seen and heard in their own words. Here, you’ll find Black designers, editors, models, bloggers, and artists making an impact and sharing their influence through art and style, and it may just be exactly what your feed is missing.
Inside, we look to 42 tastemakers, trendsetters, and fashion leaders who are changing the game — one post at a time. Read on to be inspired, hit “follow,” and listen to and share Black voices now and always.
