As the holidays are quickly approaching, everyone enjoys a pop-up event to find unique gifts for those on their holiday list. The Black Design Collective will be hosting its second annual pop-up on Saturday, November 11, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at The New Mart, located at 127 E. Ninth Street, 3rd floor, in Los Angeles. A $5 donation at the door supports the Black Design Collective as they continue to empower Black creatives in the areas of fashion and costume design with their new Creative Center, which offers classes in sewing, fashion illustration, pattern making, starting your own business, and much more.
We are excited to feature our members and friends at this pop-up event. Come and meet fashion designers T.J. Walker of Cross Colours, Kevan Hall Designs; Nicholas Mayfield, who infuses fun into his fashions; the amazing tattoo artist MZ.INK BOMB; fashion designer Alexander Hershel of Lab 74, known for his luxury streetwear; children’s book author Tiffany Brown of “Brave Brown”; and Center In, a skincare collection and candles by licensed esthetician Nesha Blair and entrepreneur TK Trinidad, among many others.
