The history of fashion and black culture is filled with complexities. The influence of black culture and talent is monumental in today’s fashion and must be acknowledged by the masses. Black culture t-shirts are just a step in the right direction, bringing attention to their place in society.

Illuminating the impact of Black culture t-shirts on fashion

Ours is an effort to overcome the past where iconic trends stemming from African-American culture were overlooked.  Gross underrepresentation occurred with the Black community, which is why we have a collection of t-shirts for all minorities who were unseen due to their dark color. Black culture t-shirts are not just for a specific race but for everyone who feels invalidated because of who they are.
