Shop these Black-Owned Fashion Brands Year-Round

May 2024 · 1 minute read

Every day it seems like new fashion ventures, especially Black-owned fashion brands and designers, are popping up online and in-store featuring designs and creations of people from diverse backgrounds and sizes. Even though it’s easier than ever to #BuyBlack, it can still be difficult to come across these Black-owned brands, unless you specifically search for them. 

Retail stores like Target, Sephora, and Nordstrom highlight Black-owned brands that they sell on their site through a designated section, however, there are still thousands of indie brands that still struggle to keep up with the ever-growing market. Even after a handful of companies have committed to supporting Black-owned businesses with Aurora James' 15 Percent Pledge, it's still harder than it should be to find amazing Black designers to support.

To make things a little easier for everyone, we've rounded up 62 of our absolute favorite Black fashion designers; from apparel to accessories. Keep clicking through and discover some of the best celebrity-loved and up-and-coming labels, ahead.

The State of the Arts is InStyle's biannual celebration of the Black creativity and excellence driving fashion, beauty, self-care, and the culture at large.
