Beyonce, Sheree and Lisa are not really fashion designers. Someone else sketches up the ideas, sews up the patterns and showcases the final product! There are some REAL designers thatare often overlooked even though they are doing BIG things for themselves! I just wanted to point out a few! Just a few!
Tracy Reese: “In Spring 1998, Reese launched her eponymous collection, which had a distinct girly, yet charming and luxurious look. Later that year, she introduced a second line, plenty by Tracy Reese, a bohemian, ethnic-inspired collection.”
Stephen Burrows: ”Burrows was thrust into the limelight when Stephen Burrows’ World opened at Henri Bendel in 1970. Cher, Diana Ross and Jerry Hall were a few of his famous clients in the 70s. He celebrated his 40th year as a designer in 2006 and continues to design collections to this day.”
This man’s client list is beyond amazing! His name ought to be named amoung the Black pioneers on the fashion industry! I was suprised when reading about him!

Patrick Robinson: “Robinson has held the position of executive vice-president of design at Gap Adult and gapbody since May 2007. Before that, he worked for Paco Rabanne, Giorgio Armani, Anne Klein and Perry Ellis.”
