When Black style and swagger cannot be denied. You know the vibe. It’s giving.

It’s giving is the actualization of Black Pride. It’s in the infectious and influential way fashionistas and aficionado of style show up and exude je ne sais quoi around the room. Black style not only known giving itself to garments but “Breathing life into who you are…into your fashion, into your style…it’s the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you carry yourself.”

Giving is likened to charisma, character, cool. Giving is a praxis of Black culture

Giving is the creative energy that is poured into and comes out of Black representation. The mixing and matching of texture and patterns and rocking adorned, ancestral hairstyles is par for the course.

It’s giving is gifting. It’s bold, beautiful, Black regalia on full display.
