Black History Month African-American art and fashion are celebrated widely with fashion shows, blogs, and in magazines with a national readership. Catch up on art as it reveals itself in fashion, hair, makeup, style and trends.
Hair remains an ever evolving art. Whether hair is natural, processed, or weaved “hair style” is something black women take time with in efforts to create personal style.
Dress is something we take pride in. Fusing African styles with African-American fashion sense is on the rise. The prints and colors found in fabrics give fashion savvy women options that are being played with in dress and casual styles.
The take away from the images in the post is one of confidence and pride. Sisterhood in groups is derived from women who bring their own flavor to the table even if the dress style is similar. There is a feeling that says, “I feel beautiful.” It exudes in the textures in hair and in the clothing.
Fashion shows taking place during Black History Month are often commentaries on style of the day, and a link with history. Black women continue to set the tone for fashion minded women. FLOTUS Michelle Obama has forever changed the “dress/style/image” of the White House. She infuses style and supports artists of color by wearing their designs, and doing it well.
