Black women’s style is a tapestry of heritage, innovation, and fearless self-expression. This fall, we’re embracing:

- Textures that tell stories: Velvet, faux leather, Ankara prints, and kente-inspired weaves
- Silhouettes that honor curves: Wrap dresses, tiered skirts, and tailored blazers designed for your proportions
