Show notes

Award shows this week can be described in four words: Blackity Black Black Black.  Round of applause for the culture.  Black celebrities and designers dominated both the Emmys and the CFDA awards with well deserved accolades for their creative contributions to the television and fashion industry.  Our collective favorites include Zendaya in Christopher John Rogers and Armani Privé and Regina King in two Schiaparelli looks, including a shocking pink suit worn with a Breonna Taylor T-shirt.  It was also a big week for black designers. Kerby Jean-Raymond, Telfar Clemens and Christopher John Rogers all won CFDA awards.  It was great to see these talented three finally be recognized by the fashion industry.  Here's to more wins for the culture.
