Black designers define what luxury means to them.
Transcript
00:00Could you share with me what luxury undefined
00:05means to you? And I'm gonna start here.
00:07I would say luxury undefined is just
00:10your classification of luxury.
00:13I feel like you determine what that is
00:17in your own style, in your own creative brain.
00:21You define what luxury is, so...yeah.
00:25Luxury, I think, is defined by the quality of the clothing
00:27that we're making, and it doesn't necessarily
00:32need to be made in Europe or white-centric spaces.
00:35I think celebrating people who are still
00:38keeping craftsmanship alive all over the world,
00:40which is mostly brown and black women,
00:43is what we should be celebrating.
00:44Woo!
00:46I would say luxury is
00:50whatever makes you pretty much comfortable,
00:54and I would say something that represents elegance.
00:58I think luxury should transcend time.
01:02It should be something special to you.
01:04You should shop with intention,
01:07and it should be something that you can
01:10go back to again and again.
01:13I feel like luxury undefined, for me, is an individual
01:19that's comfortable in its own being, and feel vibrant,
01:21just being yourself.
