This week, the ladies chat with Nareasha Willis, the designer of AVNU Official, a luxury streetwear brand that uses controversial statements, colors and textures. Nareasha considers herself a fashion activist and is the designer who coined the phrase "Ghetto Until Proven Fashionable". She is a CFDA designer and has been featured in Vogue, Refinery 29 and Essence.   Before AVNU, she launched "Black Vogue" in 2017, a brand with a mission to highlight the positive contributions of Black people in fashion. The brand was featured and praised on both Vogue and Teen Vogue. Just months later, Vogue and Conde Nast sued Nareasha for using "Black Vogue".  The lawsuit was a setback, but she was able to rebuild with her brand AVNU. She recently launched Nuova, the first luxury capsule collection of AVNU. Blackness is the focal point as AVNU celebrates a rebirth of unwavering resistance.   AVNU will be in NYC hosting a 2 day Pop Up Experience for New York Fashion Week September 9th & 10th. Follow her for more details and be sure to support her brand!!  @avnuofficial  https://runway360.cfda.com/designers/avnu-by-nareasha-willis   Some of the girls fave Black-Owned Brands @bernardjames  @hanifa @fenoel @tlzlfemme     _______________________________________________ As always, make sure to rate, comment and subscribe to Black Girls Texting!   Want even more?!   Become a Patron at Patreon.com/blackgirlstexting.com for bonus episodes, live events, merch and more of the group chat!!
