BLM in Fashion

To watch and applaud the many ways Black Lives Matter is nudging society toward accepting and celebrating Black Lives gives hope to many a disenfranchised people. 

Media across the board are attempting to break away from norms of exclusion by projecting beautiful Black tones in features once reserved for whites only content. And they are utilizing the incredible skills of Black Artists that have long been left out or minimalized in the mainstream.

'To boldly go where no one has gone before."

Vogue Magazine is adding Black to their September 2020 Special Issue and they're using Black Lives to do it.
