Meet the Black Designers Who Are Waking Up the Fashion World

Black, queer, and self-taught designer Telfar Clemens has long been known for creating pieces that are both progressive and radical. He began his unisex label Telfar in 2005, emphasizing the inclusivity of the line and claiming that Telfar is "not for you — it's for everyone." Since winning the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2017, Clemens has continued to surprise and delight the fashion world, collaborating with White Castle and creating shows that combine the catwalk with a concert experience.
