The BRIT Awards’ newest “Best Female Solo Artist” Mabel is looking to the past for her first foray into fashion, as she is not only collaborating with H&M but also with the newly revived ‘90s streetwear brand Kangol. Mabel is positively elated to embark on this new project, as she feels honored to share her affinity for streetwear with such esteemed labels. As such, she is eager to model the designs that she has helped create.
The 31-piece collection encompasses a multitude of sleek casual attire emblazoned with the Kangol logo. Among these items are classics such as puffer jackets and oversized T-shirts, alongside more unique pieces like the long-sleeved midi dress. Mabel’s bold contributions to the collection are her street-style slip dress and a pair of joggers that are also branded with Kangol logo.
Interestingly, Mabel introducing a new generation to Kangol was made possible by her own mother, singer-songwriter Neneh Cherry, from whom she inherited her appreciation for the brand. Thus, Mabel is revitalizing fashion from a bygone era by making a new audience appreciate its finesse while updating them with her own modern interpretation.

Being a black gay creative for me feels liberating but at the same time there’s pressure. Pressure in needing to express yourself to a white society, that you are enough; what feels like having to explain my existence. having to explain why who I am and the art I produce is more than a hyper sexual view, but just what it is, art - expression, my expression.
Summer is here and it’s important for every woman to feel beautiful in their own skin. Support these amazing companies that offer some beautiful swimwear pieces that will leave you feeling confident and vibrant.
It's always been important to support black designers, but amid a pandemic and sociopolitical crisis, these black artists and business owners need your support now more than ever!
While people have shown concern for the rapper, others have taken the opportunity to make jokes about the incident. Within the last couple of months, the topic of how Black women are marginalized in society has become more prevalent.
The sudden worldwide shift to Digital Fashion Weeks has engendered confusion and ambivalence among designers and fashion brands, particularly in regards to the content of their promotional videos.
After witnessing the backlash from Simone Biles Vogue cover I had to sit aside and ponder: Why is it so challenging for some photographers to capture the beauty of black skin/people? Our undertones, our glow, even the texture of our hair. So, like always I went looking for methods to best capture dark skin.
This spicy blackberry and plum sauce recipe was a push for something different and will now be my go to condiment for the summer season.
Black women die at a rate three times higher than white women when giving birth. The death of Sha-Asia Washington has shown the racial disparities Black women face in childbirth.
Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon is the first posthumous album to reach No. 1 since 2018. Pop Smoke and XXXTentacion are two of the four hip-hop artists with posthumous No. 1s. They follow The Notorious B.I.G. and 2Pac, who each have three posthumous leaders. R.I.P to the Woo.

An exclusive collection created by H&M that highlights the classics and basics that are in our wardrobe with a more elevated approach. The release was in late March and features a very minimalistic color palette consisting of black, white, beige tones, frill details, creams, and warm blues. Originally launching back in 2012, H&M has brought back this sleek and glamorous collection for SS20.
This collection includes a majority of sustainable materials and fabrics that are not only beneficial towards the environment, but especially during a time currently during a pandemic. Although, you do have to pay the price for the quality of what you receive therefore it is on the relatively higher side of a price tag than normal fast fashion companies. Some of the pieces include, flowy sleeves and v cut necklines, beige pants, gowns, minimalistic accessories, simple strappy heels, oversized sunglasses, and even some pant suit sets. H&M writes on their website that this collection was “inspired by Le Train Bleu, the elegant sleeper train that ran from Calais.” (Photo sources; H&M)

At the rise of Covid-19 many of us first questioned the timeline of fashion week and would we see the regular calendar continue - the question weighed over many of us for months! It was refreshing to see design houses and designers across the globe take advantage of the uncertainty and plow into production mode - thus my interest in Jerri Reid New York - The Black Designer based in Brooklyn New York wow’d instagram with his latest collection paying homage to the Black Is King film which debuted earlier this year in July. I was taken aback at quick of a turn round the young designer produced and released his well crafted designs reflecting some of the films most memorable moments.
