It’s utterly ridiculous that its 2019 and we’re still dealing with racism, sexism homophobia and a whole bunch of other ugly ism’s.

Recently we’ve had Politicians wearing blackface; a gay actor being attacked and now Gucci and Prada makes are making stupid garments that undeniably resembles a “Blackface’’ character. At this point apologies don’t mean anything to me.

We all have a responsibility to do the right thing and not knowing can’t be an excuse any longer. I for one will not be purchasing from those brands any longer.

It’s simple; if you don’t respect me I will not spend my money with you period. Even if you’re not offended by these overt racist gestures there are plenty of other fish in the sea that are making incredible clothing and you may not have heard of them, until now.

Below, we've highlighted 12 highly stylish Black-Owned luxury brands that people can purchase instead of Gucci & Prada.
