[/ultimate_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]You’ve heard about the Gucci boycott, right? If you’ve been living under a rock for the past few days or totally uninterested in the world of fashion here’s a quick recap.
So just a few days into February (Black History Month) Gucci produced and release a sweater that could cover the wearer’s mouth and nose sorta like a mask. The problem? The sweater resembles blackface. Of course, Gucci issued an apology after social media went berserk but we are not believing it. This item not only was produced but was also promoted, no way no one saw a black face resemblance.
Apologies after the fact are just empty words, show us with your actions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14560″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Blackface seems to be the go-to imagery and staple for luxury brands right now. In December of 2018 Prada was blasted and pulled blackface figurines from their Manhattan stores.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14563″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In 2016 Moncler had a whole blackface collection with jackets, tees and accessories so one can not only proudly display their racism but coordinate it accordingly.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14562″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Let’s not forget H&M and the coolest monkey hoodie.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14561″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Either these companies straight up racist or severely lack diversity and empathy for other races/nationalities. Guys just tell us you don’t want the $2 billion a year we spend on fashion.
Anyway if you are ready to rid yourself Gucci, Prada, Moncler, H&M and any other brand that disrespects you. Here are black-owned fashion brands that would love your support. Keep in mind most brands start off with tees and hoodies as they don’t have tons of money to put into developing different product lines starting out but they all aspire to be more than just tees. Give them a shot.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Black Owned Clothing Lines” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;”][/ultimate_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”God Is Dope”][/ultimate_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft”]Web Address:

Faith based clothing line that is really growing by leaps and bounds. With such a simple concept, I know some people are a little envious they didn’t come up with this brand. The brand can’t seem to keep products in stock. They also have a youtube channel where they share the ins and outs of running the brand.
There’s nothing like seeing behind the curtains and getting to know the owner of the brand.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14569″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInRight”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Lyfestyle”][/ultimate_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft”]Web Address:

Two Louisiana Tech grads link up and come up with an idea to inspire not on Louisiana but the world. Showing that all things are possible with hard work and determination. Since starting the brand they have also set up a scholarship at Louisana Tech to help other up and coming entrepreneurs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14564″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInRight”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Vanda-A Industries”][/ultimate_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft”]Web Address:

What You’ll Love:
Vandal-A Industries is inspired by George Constanza from Seinfeld. When George was collection unemployment insurance he made up a fictional company that he was interviewing named Vandelay Industries. In the now famous scene, the unemployment rep called to inquire if Vandelay was indeed considering hiring George but Kramer had no idea about this lie and George was in the bathroom when Kramer answered the phone. George ran out, pants at his ankle and tidy whites on screaming Vandelay, Vandelay.
Well, this Vandal-A is not fictional but the real streetwear brand you’re probably already familiar with. If you’ve seen the OG shirts and hats, that’s Vandal-A Industries. If you follow Fab and Jadakiss then you definitely are familiar with Vandal-A Industries. The brand even has a collab produced by Nike. Which shoe? The Nike Vandal ofcourse.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14577″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInRight”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Rich Wierdo”][/ultimate_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft”]Web Address:

Unlike what the name suggests, Rich Weirdo, is not about being Rich financially and/or a Weird socially awkward person. Rich Weirdo is about celebrating you’re individuality. The most important aspects is not what you bring to the table financially but the other talents and gifts that you’re rich in. Like wise being a weirdo is just the little nuances that make you, you. The brand wants you to celebrate that.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14573″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInRight”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”A.K.O.O.

This Miami, Fl based brand is really making a name for themselves with their signature graphic tees, joggers, hats and canvas art. While they may have started the brand in a bedroom they definitely left that behind and now work out of a 4,000 square foot warehouse space. The brand is sold in 400+ stores worldwide and I’m sure you’ve seen their wears featured on IG on the back of artists and athletes.

With HGC Apparel it’s not about current trends, you’ll find baggy sweats, color block and loud text designs. HGC Apparel is all about bringing back that early 90’s vibe. Big and bold text, bright multi-colored designs merge with black pride themes.
If you’re Black and Not Proud this is not the brand for you.

When streetwear is mentioned Supreme, BAPE and Stussy usually come to mind. But 10 deep has been around since the Supreme days. Supreme came out in 1994 and 10 deep came out in 1995. Yeah, you read that right, 1995. And guess what the brand is still going strong. 20+ years later and they’re still pushing the envelope.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14565″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInRight”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Black Pyramid”][/ultimate_heading][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft”]Web Address:

From the mind of one of the greatest MC’s of all time, Nasir Jones, Nasty Nas, Nas Escobar or just plain Nas. This brand is a combination of new school and old.
With Hstry you’ll find some fresh and new styles but the real treat are the throw back items with styles and images from the 70’s and 80’s, I mean the brands name is History, right?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”14571″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInRight”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Served Fresh Collection”][/ultimate_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft”]Web Address:
