#Teechallaclothing Fashion New York Fashion Week (and the Do Not Pet The Fluffy Cow Shirt Besides,I will do this SoHo traffic it creates) may have come to a close, but Black History Month is still ongoing and my main priority. In honor of both, I wore Black-owned brands throughout NYFW as an open display of progress and rebellion. Though I typically wear these pieces year-round, I found it especially important to highlight them this February. Over the last decade, the prominence of Black designers and their impact on the industry has become undeniable. A turning point for me, and surely many other young Black fashion lovers, was when the late Virgil Abloh went from helming his mid-2000s brand Pyrex Vision to being the artistic director of menswear at Louis Vuitton—all without a traditional fashion design background. This controversial appointment was the first time someone like me realized you could break the rules by redefining them.
