Supporting the Next Generation
Black Fashion Legacy is an initiative of Hems & Brims, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering the next generation of fashion professionals through mentorship, education, and community building.
Hems & Brims connects aspiring fashion professionals with industry mentors, educational resources, and networking opportunities. Through our mentorship programs, workshops, and career development initiatives, we support Black youth as they navigate their paths into the fashion industry.
A portion of proceeds from Black Fashion Legacy resources and partnership programs directly supports Hems & Brims' programming. When you purchase our educational materials or partner with us, you're not only preserving Black fashion history, you're also investing in the next generation of Black fashion creatives.
