So many cool aspects to this 2016 dress by @madisonmaxey1 for @loomia_co !! Maddison Maxey used computer coding to generate this next level print. Natural dyer and textile artist, Nica Rabinowitz, helped to execute it. And the coolest part is that it’s made of hemp and recycled computer cords and utilizes a zero waste pattern! #maddisonmaxey #loomia #nicarabinowitz #computer #coding #print #technologyinfashion #sustainablefashion #hemp #recycle #ecofashion #blackfashiondesigners #museumatfit (at Museum at FIT)

Loving this @maki.oh fringe dress from Fall 2013 !! It portrays a character from a story that takes place in rural Nigeria, a girl that struggles with the difficulty of keeping secrets in a small village. #makioh #blackfashiondesigners #museumatfit #fashion #storytelling #inspiration #design

From a quick first glance this striking gown looks either painted or printed on, but actually Eric Gaskins has captured the inspirational brushwork of his favorite artist Franz Kline through exquisite beadwork on this silk gown from 2014. Love it!!!#ericgaskins #blackfashiondesigners #museumatfit #inspiration #beadwork #fashion #art (at Museum at FIT)

Hey all, with all of the horrific events that have taken place over the last few weeks, I really wanted to bring some positivity to the timeline from a fashion perspective (because that’s what I know best). I decided to make a video called ‘9 BLACK FASHION DESIGNERS IN BIRMINGHAM (UK) YOU NEED TO KNOW’ and whilst I may not know all of them personally I am very proud of each and everyone of them for pushing through and blessing us with their gifts and talents and going hard in the fashion world, because believe me it ain’t easy. Sending love to you guys and a big virtual hug. :)
