This episode of the Need to Know podcast is brought to you by McDonald's.

Fashion loves black style, but black designers don't always get their shine.

That's why McDonald's has partnered with five rising black designers and five industry

insiders to help change more than clothes.

The designers have hit culture's biggest red carpets and runaways

and connected with fashion industry insiders

for ongoing career-changing mentorships,

all while building their brands and bringing along fans like you.

Plus, there's so much more to come.
