“During the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, I was enlightened to many Black-owned luxury designers. One of my favorite African designer labels is Vicnate NG. Although Beyoncé did a fabulous job at showcasing various Black-owned designers by wearing their pieces for Black is King, I still believe the fashion industry doesn’t have enough respect for African labels. There’s a whole Lagos Fashion Week that I never see American mainstream publications discuss or amplify. Yet, so much talent is sourced and inspired by Africans. The intricate details, unique designs, and silhouettes are incomparable.” – Kathryn Lewis, PR Assistant and Influencer
