As a fashion and beauty publication, what we can do is use our platform today and every day to amplify the voices of the many talented Black people who make this industry what it is.
In addition to continuing to tell their stories individually, we’ll be sharing a list of Black fashion editors, bloggers, influencers, designers, stylists, and models we think you should pay attention to (if you haven’t already). Follow them, listen to them, spread the word, support their projects, tell your colleagues and employees about them, and hire them if you can. This list will be updated continuously.
