Brandon Blackwood

Brandon Blackwood is a purveyor of Black luxury who has revolutionized the fashion world with his bold, unapologetic designs famously worn by icons from ­Beyoncé to Megan Thee Stallion. In 2020, at the height of one of the most transformative movements in recent history, one tote took over all of our feeds with a straightforward message: End systemic racism. The virality of that bag is now woven into the ongoing legacy of the Brandon Blackwood brand. As one of few pre-eminent Black designers, Blackwood represents changemakers who lead by example with fearlessness, innovation, and a steadfast embrace of inclusivity. His influence extends beyond the runway, inspiring a new generation of designers to merge style with substance. The B on his bags not only honors their namesake—it also reflects his brilliance across every design, collection, and work of art he offers to this world.
