Book Forward by June Ambrose

"Fashion is more than just clothing—it's a form of expression, empowerment, and culture. The contributions of Black fashion legends have shaped the industry in ways often overlooked. This book and flashcard set give our stories the stage they deserve, allowing the next generation to take pride in their heritage and see themselves reflected in fashion's narrative." - June Ambrose
