Despite the abundance of Black-owned fashion collections to shop, fashion has not always been a welcoming place for Black designers and models. 

Still, stylish creatives have made a way for themselves, trailblazing for others to follow. If you're looking to show your support, here are timeless Black-owned fashion brands to check out.

Launched in 1989, Cross Colours quickly became a political brand. Owners Carl Jones and TJ Walker have since relaunched, recently collaborating with Black Radiance.

Led by Kimora Lee Simmons, then and now, Baby Phat has continued to revolutionize streetwear since 1999. Their archive has since been purchased by Rihanna. 

Since 2005, Telfar has been a unisex fashion brand offering various products. Their vegan leather bags took off around 2020, making room for other accessories and clothing. 

At the pulse of contemporary fashion for handbags/accessories since 2015, Blackwood has also grown to produce clothing. His bouquet bag is his newest and most popular idea. 

Hanifa is a global luxury fashion brand empowering women via ornate detailing and bold coloring. Their virtual, model-less fashion show in 2020 is still a point of discussion. 

Since the launch of his line in 2018, rainbows, silhouettes and tailoring have been at the heart of Christopher John Roger's designs. His newest drop is called RISQUE. 

Another collection championing women's confidence, Kai is identifiable via their bold coloring, patterns and curved logo. They've sold attainable luxury since 2016.

For Keama, style is our culture's legacy. The fashion brand has captured casual-luxe since 2018. Beyonce's Black Is King featured pieces from her second collection.
