Black communities have a long history of protest and activism. A lot of black designers have been considered fashion as a platform to convey their ideas and opinions toward social issues. They add their aesthetic values and own perspectives into fashion, and also give power to people, who wear their designs. Among other costumes in the Black Fashion Designer exhibition, I chose “stoned cherry t-shirt and Tsonga skirt”, designed by Nkhensani Ncosi. Nkhensani Ncosi is a South African fashion designer, who proclaims herself as a “creative activist.” She has traveled through out Africa, and has became a designer, who communicates people with distinctive African fashion, she had experienced so far. In that sense, her work is worthy enough to be included in the exhibition, which has a purpose of introducing black designers that brought diverse perspectives to the fashion industry. She designed t-shirts with images of apartheid-era heroes to honor them and also to alert consciousness to people. The costume I chose is the designer’s most well-known t-shirts that has a printed cover from the magazine “Drum” with the face of the anti-apartheid activist Stephen Biko, murdered by the state security forces in 1977. By using an iconic person, whose face remains a powerful political symbol of the resistance movement, her aim of bring people’s attention to the issue was successful. This attempt propagated anti-apartheid movement and celebrated black culture.
