Why Don’t Black Celebrities Wear Black Clothing Brands?

[I Really Mean It]

by “celebrities,” i mean actors, musicians and athletes - the black glitterati.

except for underground rappers, who aren’t really celebrities to the degree of which i’m speaking, none of our black luminaries rock black brands. and, there are a LOT of black streetwear brands out there, many of which produce clean tees, hoodies and other apparel.

on instagram, i see black celebrity after black celebrity wearing white or non-black designers: dior, moncler, gucci, louis (not off-white), raf simons, alexander mcqueen, palm angels, human made, carhartt, kapital, rhude, etc.

there are others i haven’t named, but you get the gist.

think of how this appears to the youth who look up to them. you’re a black boy or girl, and black celebrities on instagram are only wearing apparel made by people who don’t look like you.

it’s sickening.

Good question

Gucci, fendi, Prada…are the standard. What are the black equivalents?

 

[Peewee Longway]

This nikka said designer and put carhartt in the same sentence as gucci, dior, and louis vuitton

standard for what? if you’re nouveau rich and want to look goofy? ok. for streetwear? no.

Cac designers are giving them free shyt to wear, and wearing the clothes give celebrities more clout.

Sounds like a win-win to me

i put it in the same sentence listing non-black brands i constantly see black celebs wearing.

you don’t think it’s more of a win for black celebrities to wear clothing made by up-and-coming black brands? isn’t that more beneficial to our community?

Shout out to LL Cool J.

man, there was a period when black brands were getting a lot of love from black entertainers.

and because of it, black people were buying apparel from those brands.

that this is no longer the case is sad. it’s a sign of how brainwashed we’ve become.

black designers are more accessible now and are easier to find. we All should be wearing them.

i don’t see it. i use instagram for business, and because the business i’m conducting is related to fashion, i get fashion related content in my explore page. every day i’m greeted with posts of black celebs in fits comprised of white brands.

OP back frustrated pushing a t-shirt brands in 2023 after a failed investment guru run.

people shouldn't wear shyt because it's Black made or owned unless they like it. stop the bullshyt. you can't guiltrip people into buying your trash

i remember when this forum was pretending BBB was a Black brand and shaming nikkaz for hating that goofy shyt come to find out the biggest investor wasn't even a breh and the company wasn't fulfilling it's orders.
