Three Black fashion designers talk about the challenges they've faced in a predominantly white industry. “People want it to be a monolith...and to put [all Black designers] in one basket.”

OVER THE PAST few weeks, as a racial-justice movement has swelled across the U.S., the upper reaches of the fashion industry are being scrutinized.

Why are there so few Black designers at luxury labels? Why so few Black editors at glossy fashion publications? And why such a dearth of Black executives in the boardrooms of fashion companies? Less discussed but no less important are the challenges that independent designers of color face at the less glitzy rungs of the ladder.

They do it I themselves by not making clothes that attract whites ! Then scream racism when they can’t sell them ! So cut the BS

Such drama, thats like saying the challenges white players face in the predominantly black NFL. My god people if your good at what you do youll succeed. In the NFL the best player plays green, black, yellow or white. I am sure if your a great fashion designer you'll thrive.

I thought it was very diverse, from what I have seen it is very diverse, including models in the industry ; from all backgrounds!! IT'S A MIXED INDUSTRY,THERE IS A LOT OF FINGER POINTING & SELF PITY GOING ON. LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT, CHOOSE SUCCESS OR NOT OPTIMISM OR SELFPITY

Let's talk about health care!

Oh jeez...life is tough
