5 Black Fashion Icons You Should Know

If #BlackLivesMatter and #BlackModelsMatter, it seems that the Fashion Institute of Technology hopes to prove that black designers matter too. An upcoming exhibit, entitled “Black Fashion Designers,” will showcase a global history of black people in fashion from the 1950s to the present, focusing on designers as well as models. Set to open December 6 at the Museum at FIT, the show is quite the ambitious endeavor, with work from more than 60 designers.
