This year’s designers wanted to celebrate their cultures through their clothes. British-Nigerian designer Michelle Adepoju always uses her travels to Africa to inspire her collections. “In Nigeria, beads represent royal gods of protection, and they’re used for different celebratory purposes,” she said. She used beads throughout her collection, including on shoulder straps, and to accessorize fringe trims.
Meanwhile, designers of Lurelly and Tejahn Burnett want to create well-made clothes and shoes that inspire women alongside their Los Angeles team. Tejahn Burnett also makes footwear and she makes sure to offer a wide range of shoe sizes, from 35 to 43. Her boots even fit wide calves, a rarity in the shoe market.
