From the Founder
Brandice Daniel — Founder & CEO of HFR and ICON360
Approximately one year ago, I walked into a boutique that sold candles, plates, hand-made napkins, and books. One book, in particular, caught my attention. Its cover featured a collection of influential fashion designers and industry leaders. A thrill of excitement washed over me as I eagerly flipped the pages to see how many Black designers were included. With each turn of a page, my excitement faded, eventually shifting into a wave of disappointment. There was only one Black designer featured. While he was more than deserving, I believed many other Black designers should have been recognized as well.
As I stood with the book in my hand, I began to feel the heat of anger rising within me. Something needed to be done. I purchased the book and took it back to my office where I showed it to my assistant. While handing it to her I asked, “Do you see anything wrong with this book?” I watched as she viewed the cover and then flipped the pages just as I had done not long before. Knowing my heart for Black designers, her face slowly grew in disbelief with the same realization I’d had back in the boutique. She looked up at me, her eyes mirroring my frustration, and said, “There’s only one.”
“We’re going to do our book to celebrate Black designers.”
My words were final. As soon as I said it, I meant it. Wanting to keep the inspiration, I put the book on a shelf above my desk as a constant reminder.
One year later, the book is finally here!
I consider this a resource book, a reference book, a coffee table book, and a celebration of Black creativity that everyone needs in their home.
