This week we are joined by Nicole Chapato, who is the fashion editor at Vandy Fair and she

is a sister. I really wanted to get her on the show because I just dropped illustrious

league. I am kind of just taking my little very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

very baby steps into the fashion space. I'm always curious about what's already there.

When we talk about black and fashion, we're talking about so many levels of things. We're

talking about not just designers, but we're talking about the stigmas around what

black fashion is. We're talking about the positions that exist that aren't in the front

facing positions. We're talking about the history of fashion and style within black culture,

etc. So there's so many spaces to discuss. I know a lot of us also think about these lines,

these luxury lines in the past few years that have really shown NAS by putting out work

that has some blatant and not so blatant racial undertones. I think it's really great

that we are able to get somebody on that can talk about this. And from what it's worth,

I know there's a lot of guys who may be saying, well, fashion is like so extra. It doesn't

matter to me. But then there's those of us who really just love a look. And even if

you may not care about it for yourself, you may care about seeing it looks on other people.

I mean, who doesn't love seeing a look on Rihanna, right? She gives you a look. So very happy
