Growing up, Black took stimuli from drawing, painting, and creating; thus, on her sweet sixteen birthday, she took a pre-college program in Brooklyn at Pratt Institute in fashion design. While in school, she interned for a few designers, including Michael Kors and Jill Stuart. After graduating in 2005, she moved to London, where she worked in Alexander McQueen’s design studio. There, she got involved with everything creative, from sewing and cutting to making patterns and dyeing fabrics. Returning to New York, she worked as a designer for corporate fashion brands, doing specific designs and celebrity outfits until she built her own namesake line.
