W hat started as a simple passion for visual arts soon became a fashion love story. That’s the case for Samantha Black and her clothing brand, Sammy B. Designs, which is perfect for the modern woman on the go. With fun prints, happy colors, and excellent craftsmanship, Black has created a women’s ready-to-wear clothing line addressed to the “It Girls” and all the sexy, powerful women with tomboy’s hearts. Born in the Bronx to Jamaican parents and living in different parts of New York City led to developing her aesthetic, which is evident in her designs. Her Jamaican roots and family’s past were the early inspirations that put her into the fashion design world. Taking inspiration from her stylish family members, who were always dressed to the nines on every occasion, was the key to her design process.
