18. TrooRa Magazine The Women’s Issue Spring ’23

After two years of constant effort to promote her business, she made it onto Project Runway . During her participation in the show, she left her artistic footprint; thus, she was invited back to the Project Runway All Stars season, where she competed against the best of the best in the show’s history. Although she was known before attending both shows, she gained a further reputation that led celebrities and pop stars like Beyoncé, Halle Berry, Issa Rae, Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Hudson, Nicki Minaj, and Keke Palmer to wear her creations. Foremost, Black recognizes the importance of growth within a brand. Her brand is more than dressing celebrities; it’s about offering accessible luxury to everyday women. Black is a fearless designer with a New York state of mind who delivers fashion-forward pieces and wishes to leave her mark. During the creative design process, she takes inspiration from everything she loves—her people, street art, different cultures, textures, trips, architecture, and, of course, the spirit of NYC that impacts the energy she puts into her work. From there, she adds her taste, current trends, and new intakes in fashion until she finally brings her sketches to life.
