Gee's Bend quilters on how an uptick in fashion partnerships impacts their community
Tara Donaldson reports on the impact the uptick in fashion partnerships has had on the artisan community of Gee's Bend quilters for WWD. "While the historic quilt work from the small Black community that's still known to residents as Gee's Bend (though it's officially Boykin, Alabama) has been tradition since the 19th century, a wave of recent brand collaborations has brought the rural community to the runway," writes Donaldson. "So far, though things are largely going well, according to some of the quilters, there's more that could be done when it comes to transparency and the longer-term economic viability of some of these partnerships." {WWD}
